Lafarge Stock On Fire
French equities posted a greater than one percent move to send the CAC40 index back above the 3,000 level. Industrials and Financials led the move with more than five percent gains in the sectors. Strength in the housing and construction sector was evident as cement producer Lafarge and construction firm Bouygues posted gains of 12.30% and 8.01%, respectively. Financial sector gains proved less impressive but upside of 5.75% in insurer Axa and 5.38% in lender Dexia added to the gains in the index.
