The Paris Bourse still struggling (-0.41%) in the middle of a wave of results

The Paris Bourse remained misguided Friday at mid-day (-0.41%), affected by the expectation of the British vote on the Brexit agreement, the Chinese growth down and unpleasant surprises in the results of companies, including Renault.

At 14:20 (12:20 GMT), the CAC 40 index fell by 23.01 points to 5,650.06 points, in a trade volume of 1.9 billion euros. The day before, he had finished down 0.42%.

The Parisian coast opened in the red and failed to straighten the head afterwards.

Wall Street was preparing for his side to open to balance. The Dow Jones Industrial Average index futures contract was at 0.09%, the broad-based S & P 500 index was 0.10% and the Nasdaq was high tech, 0.14%.

"The new key deadline for this week is no longer the end of the European summit, but the extraordinary session of the House of Commons tomorrow" where "British MPs will have to decide on the agreement negotiated between the European Union and the United Kingdom, "said Tangi Le Liboux, a strategist of the broker Aurel BGC.

Back in London after finding an agreement on the Brexit with the 27, Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Friday tackled the difficult task of convincing the members of the British Parliament to adopt, for a vote on Saturday.

"The growth published a little under expectations by China reinforces the picture of a general slowdown in the global economy," also said Le Liboux.

At 27-year lows, the growth of the Chinese economy slowed sharply in the third quarter, falling to 6% year-on-year, the National Bureau of Statistics (SNB) said Friday.

And in the field of publications, "it's a festival of warnings this morning" which are "of different magnitude and origin, but all go in the same direction," added the expert Aurel BGC.
