Platinum Hits 4-week Low

The CAC 40 index dropped 1% to below 8,050 on Tuesday, extending losses from the previous session to hit a four-month low, as rising oil prices and global bond yields weighed on sentiment. Oil prices continued to climb, with Brent crude rising above $107 per barrel after attacks on Saudi energy infrastructure, adding to concerns over an already challenging inflation outlook. Higher yields further weighed on equities after the US 10-year Treasury yield reached 5%. Locally, France’s final inflation readings showed annual consumer prices accelerated to 2.4% in August from 2.1% in July, reaching a three-month high. Luxury stocks led the downturn, pressured by weaker Chinese demand and reduced access to the Middle East travel hub. LVMH dropped 2.2%, while Hermes fell 1.3%. In contrast, top gainers were Capgemini (6.61%), Dassault Systemes (4.99%) and TP (4.11%).

French Stocks Hit 4-Month Low

The FTSE MIB slid over 1% to around 50,800 on Tuesday, its lowest level in three months, as higher oil prices and rising global bond yields weighed on risk appetite. Escalating tensions in the Middle East continued to fuel oil-driven inflation concerns, raising expectations of further interest rate hikes by central banks worldwide this year. Financial stocks bore the brunt of the broad decline as Italian 10-year bond yields rose to levels last seen in late 2023. UniCredit fell 2.5%, Intesa Sanpaolo declined 1.9%, Assicurazioni Generali dropped 1%, Mediobanca lost 2%, BPER Banca fell 2.4%, and Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena declined 2.2%. Other major stocks also traded lower, including Telecom Italia (-1.2%), Enel (-1.4%), Ferrari (-1.4%), and Poste Italiane (-1.6%).

FTSE MIB Hits 3-Month Low

Slovakia's annual inflation rate eased to 3.1% in August 2026 from 3.3% in July, slightly below market expectations of 3.2%. This marked the lowest reading since December 2024, largely due to a deeper decline in food and non-alcoholic beverage prices (-2.5% vs -2.1%). Inflation also slowed for clothing and footwear (0.4% vs 0.8%), furnishings, household equipment and routine household maintenance (1.3% vs 1.4%), health (4.8% vs 5.1%), transport (6.5% vs 7.0%), recreation, sport and culture (4.7% vs 5.2%), education (5.9% vs 6.0%), and insurance and financial services (4.5% vs 4.6%). Meanwhile, price growth accelerated for alcoholic beverages, tobacco and narcotics (2.6% vs 1.8%) and information and communication (2.3% vs 2.2%). On a monthly basis, consumer prices were flat, in line with market expectations and easing from 0.1% in July. Core inflation, which excludes regulated prices, edged down to 1.5% from 1.7% in July, marking its lowest level since February 2021.
