BUZZ — French auto parts suppliers gain on supportive EU policy hopes

* Shares in French auto parts suppliers Forvia, Valeo and OPmobility rise between 5.1% and 6.1% * Gains are part of a broader sector move, with Germany's Schaeffler up 4.3%, Italy's Brembo up 2.8% and European automakers advancing 2% to 3% * Evercore ISI analyst Chris McNally says clarity on the EU's 2035 framework is a positive, but sees a more supportive EU policy backdrop as the bigger driver, citing lower Chinese import pressure and more flexible EV compliance requirements * TP ICAP analyst Julien Thomas says proposals including stricter local-content requirements for EV subsidies are "broadly positive", improving visibility for the sector and aligning with suppliers' demands * Forvia, Valeo and OPmobility outperform the STOXX Europe 600 Automobiles & Parts index, up 1.9% (Reporting by Jerome Terroy) ((jerome.terroy@thomsonreuters.com)
