IPC Index — Mexico MarketThe Paris CAC 40 rose 1% to 8,230 points on Wednesday, extending its two-day rally of 2.6% and returning to record territory. Banking and luxury stocks led the advance, buoyed by optimism over the potential resolution of the US government shutdown and growing expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts in December, following weaker-than-expected ADP data showing a decline in US private employment for October. BNP Paribas surged more than 2%, topping the index, while Crédit Agricole climbed 1.7%, Hermès International gained 1.6%, LVMH advanced 1.5%, and Société Générale added 1.4%. In contrast, voucher provider Edenred slid 10% and triggered a trading halt after cutting its 2026 profit guidance. Teleperformance (TP) remained under pressure, slipping 0.3% after AlphaValue downgraded the stock from Buy to Hold.
