The result of Wall Street, the flagship index of the Bourse, the parisian has spent a large part of the afternoon in the red, especially as the operators also had to digest concern over a rise in u.s. interest rates.
In effect, the borrowing rate to 10 years the United States has exceeded Tuesday, the symbolic threshold of 3% for the first time since the beginning of 2014, reaching “levels considered to be potentially critical of the market”, recalls Daniel Larrouturou.
In these conditions, investors have thus limited their risk-taking, but the good performance of the oil sector, helped by the course of the black gold on the rise, has finally allowed the ACC to finish in positive territory.
