On the heels of a retreat of more than 0.9% to 7068 points, the Paris Bourse is set to open this Tuesday down by around 0.6% according to CAC40 futures, as a rather pessimistic reading of this weekend's agreement in Washington seems to prevail.

It may have been a new quarter, but yesterday was another difficult day for the markets, particularly with a wave of selling in bonds that showed no sign of letting up", recalls Deutsche Bank.

The latter believes that 'the absence of a shutdown this weekend was seen in a darker light as the day progressed, because while it eliminated a tangible risk to the economy, it also increased the probability of further rate hikes'.

Deutsche Bank thus points out that, according to futures contracts, the probability of a hike at the next FOMC meeting in November rose from 19% on Friday to 28% on Monday, while that of a hike in December rose from 39% to 51%.

On the value front, logistics property company Argan reported a 12% increase in rental income to 137 million euros in the first nine months of the year, and confirmed its targets for 2023 as a whole.

Retail property company Carmila announced that it had issued a 500 million euro bond maturing in October 2028, with an oversubscription rate of 2.2 times, to finance the acquisition of Galimmo.
