The CAC 40 index fell 0.3% to approximately 8,285 on Friday, marking its fifth consecutive loss amid investor caution following a record high earlier in the week. Key declines were seen in Essilor (-2.7%), Kering (-1.5%), and Renault (-1.16%), while defense stocks like Thales (+2.1%) and Safran (+1.6%) saw gains. The French government postponed budget discussions, adding to market uncertainty.
