PARIS, Feb 16 (Reuters) - France's benchmark CAC-40 stock market index touched a record intraday high on
Thursday, buoyed by solid results at some of the country's
biggest companies and echoing similar record highs reached on
Britain's FTSE 100 .
The CAC-40 at one point rose by 1.2% to 7,387.29 points,
beating a lifetime high of 7,384.86 points reached on Jan 5,
2022. The index then pared some of those gains to stand 1.1%
higher at 7,379 points by 1037 GMT.
Earlier this week, London's FTSE 100 had briefly cleared
8,000 points to hit a new record high, helped by a drop in the
British pound after data showed domestic inflation eased more
than expected.
