CAC 40 nears psychological 8,000 mark
The French CAC 40 stock index’s swift rally is taking it close to its psychological 8,000 mark as stellar Nvidia earnings boosted global risk-on sentiment. Positive French corporate earnings and PMI data also contributed to the current surge.
Wednesday’s high and Thursday’s low at 7,860 to 7,848 represents the first minor support area.

DAX 40 stalls slightly below Thursday’s record high
The DAX 40 index’s swift rally to a new record high close to the 17,500 mark is taking a breather as investors mull over German IFO business confidence data.
A minor retracement on profit-taking ahead of the weekend may well be seen on Friday. Above the 17,500 mark lies the 18,000 region.
Minor support is only seen around the mid-February 17,197 high.
