The CAC 40 rose 0.4% to 8,485 on Tuesday, rebounding from losses in the previous session as stabilization in technology sector helped improve risk sentiment.
Investor attention turned to Nvidia’s closely watched earnings report due Wednesday, with the results expected to offer a crucial gauge of the strength and longevity of the AI-driven market.
Investors also continued to assess developments surrounding US-Iran tensions after Washington's threat of an "economic D-Day" through tougher sanctions on Iran failed to generate the level of market disruption many had expected.
