The index takes advantage of the effect of the positive climate on the US stock exchanges yesterday, with the S&P 500, which closed up 0.82%.
The CAC 40 is now a 4th session in a row of gains, with an increase of +0.68% at the time of the writing of this article.

The largest decrease in the CAC 40 is displayed by Renault (PA:RENA), with a dip of more than 7% after Fiat has announced the termination of its proposed merger with the French car manufacturer, ascribing this failure to the requirements of the French government, a shareholder of Renault.
Orange shows a loss of 2%, followed by Carrefour (PA:CARR) to -1.6%.

From a technical point of view, it should be noted that the increase in the day resulted in a break above the resistance of 5300 points, but also above the moving average 200 hours, which is a new signal rise after crossing above the moving average 100 hours of Tuesday.
If the increase continues, 5350 points will be the next potential goal, before the psychological level of 5400 points.
For the reduction, a return to below 5300 points would put into question the positive profile of the CAC 40 since the beginning of the week, with the possibility of a decline in 5250-60 points in a first time, prior to 5200 points and 5150 points, the low of last week.
