CAC 40

CAC 40 index, the French large-cap equity benchmark.

CAC 40 is part of the EU/UK Equity category. European markets carry the sovereign debt overhang of the post-2010 era in their pricing. Bund-BTP spreads remain the cleanest gauge of periphery stress, while HICP drives ECB policy expectations. UK macro diverges post-Brexit, with sterling volatility and Gilt-Bund spreads carrying political risk premia that sometimes detach entirely from U.S. moves.

CAC 40 is updated once per day after market close. Each metric page on Convex shows the exact time of the last data update and provides historical data going back up to five years.
