The star CAC 40 index advanced 80.14 points to 5,849.53 points shortly before 9:40 a.m.

The day before, despite an attempt to rebound in session, it had ended down 0.24%.

The Parisian rating has been going through red days since mid-September: it remains on nine declines in the last ten sessions, during which it has lost nearly 9%.

The CAC 40, like the other European indices, is benefiting "from a lull on the currency front, the dollar losing ground somewhat and the pound sterling recovering after its historic fall yesterday", according to John Plassard, specialist investment at Mirabaud.

The euro also recovered slightly, gaining 0.44% against the greenback at 0.9652 dollars around 9:25 a.m.

He stresses, however, that "the questions remain", in the context of the increase in the key rates of the major Western central banks.

France's 10-year borrowing rate, the benchmark maturity, fell slightly after hitting a new 10-year high in early trading on Tuesday.

It evolved to 2.68%.

Renewed interest in risk

The most cyclical values, and dependent on economic activity, benefited the most from the slight renewed interest in risk: Renault took 3.30% to 28.97 euros, ArcelorMittal 2.03% to 21.38 euros, Saint-Gobain 1.45% to 38.03 euros.

More defensive stocks, such as telecoms (Orange +0.06% to 9.58 euros), or health (Eurofins Scientific +0.13% to 60.24 euros) were down more.

Technicolor splits on the stock market to regain colors

Technicolor studios, specializing in visual effects for cinema, video games, animation and advertising, begin their listing on the Paris Stock Exchange on Tuesday, an operation to deleverage the rest of the group.

The group is now divided into two independent entities: on the one hand Technicolor Creative Studios (TCS), of which 65% of the shares have been distributed to shareholders, and on the other hand the rest of the activities (development of modems under white label, and DVD production) whose corporate name becomes Vantiva.

Introduced at a price of 1.95 euro, the title was only worth 1.82 euro shortly after the opening before seeing its quotation suspended.

Orpea wants more staff
