In Paris, the CAC 40 index ended in equilibrium (-0.03% to 6,553.68 points).

During the week, the Parisian rating lost around 1%.

"The day is like the whole week, a week of hesitation", in a context of risks of slowing growth induced by the decline in consumer purchasing power, summarizes Daniel Larrouturou, equity manager at Dom Finance.

"The markets are caught between two negative factors: on the one hand the increase in inflation and on the other the risks of a decline in growth", adds the expert.

Inflation expectations, which continue to rise, resulted in a fairly significant rise in rates this week on the sovereign debt market, where the yield on the ten-year French bond rose back above 1%, a first for four years.

The US rate of the same maturity was approaching 2.50% and the Italian rate was now above 2% on Friday.

First shareholder of Orange, the State will support Wednesday during the board of directors of the operator the candidacy of Jacques Aschenbroich for the presidency of the group, confirmed Friday the Ministry of Economy and Finance with AFP.

The title took 0.80% to 10.80 euros.

TF1 and M6 undertook on Thursday, in the event of the completion of their merger project, to buy the 33.33% stake of France Télévisions in the Salto streaming platform, for 45 million euros, according to a joint press release from the three groups.

TF1 rose by 2.82% to 9.11 euros and M6 by 2.89% to 17.80 euros.
