High-impact releases for EUR over the next 7 days, in server time (GMT+3). Dots on the 1D and 5D charts mark recent releases.
The FR40, or CAC 40, is France's benchmark stock market index comprising 40 of the largest companies listed on Euronext Paris. It represents the health of the French economy and serves as a key barometer for eurozone sentiment. With average daily trading volumes exceeding €5 billion, the FR40 offers deep liquidity and is a cornerstone instrument for European equity index traders.
FR40 prices are driven by corporate earnings announcements, European monetary policy decisions from the ECB, macroeconomic data releases, and broader sentiment toward eurozone equities. Political developments in France, sector-specific news (particularly in luxury goods, banking, and energy), and geopolitical events also significantly influence price movement. Currency fluctuations between the euro and other major currencies add another layer of complexity.
At GCC Brokers, FR40 is available as a cash index CFD with automatic execution and no manual intervention. Trade on your preferred account—Zero accounts offer lower spreads, while Standard accounts provide flexible entry points. Orders are executed automatically, with no requotes.
At GCC Brokers, FR40 trades Monday through Friday with extended hours beyond the Euronext Paris cash session; the exact hours, in server time, are in the specifications above. Liquidity is highest during Euronext Paris cash hours (09:00–17:30 Paris time); outside them, liquidity may be limited and spreads wider, so most retail traders focus on the main session.
Spreads are variable and depend on market conditions and your account. Standard and Pro have no commission, and Pro has tighter spreads; Zero has raw spreads plus a commission. The live spread is shown on this page. Positions held overnight are charged or credited a swap, shown in the specifications.
FR40 is primarily driven by earnings reports from its constituent companies, ECB interest rate decisions, and eurozone GDP and inflation data. Sector rotation between luxury goods, financials, and energy stocks influences the index heavily. Sentiment toward the euro and risk appetite in broader European markets also play crucial roles in daily price movements.
Yes, GCC Brokers offers leverage on FR40 CFDs according to your account type and regulatory limits. Leverage amplifies both potential gains and losses, so proper risk management is essential. We recommend using stop-losses and position sizing appropriate to your account size and risk tolerance.
FR40 suits both strategies. Day traders benefit from its deeper liquidity during core Euronext hours and strong intraday volatility around European data releases. Swing traders can capitalize on medium-term trends driven by earnings seasons and macroeconomic cycles. GCC Brokers supports both timeframes, with no restrictions on holding periods.
