PARIS, July 13 (Reuters) - The main stock exchanges
European markets are on the rise on Friday, driven by
technology compartment after records posted the day before
on Wall Street on this segment, and this despite the plunge
of Altran ALTT.PA.
The acceleration of the ball of results publications to
United States, with the announcements expected in the early afternoon of
JP Morgan Chase JPM.N, Citigroup C.N and Wells Fargo WFC.N,
is also an encouraging signal for
investors, who generally expect a good season
for corporate profits.
In Paris, the CAC 40 .FCHI index gained 0.49% at 5.432.3
points around 08:00 GMT. In Frankfurt, the Dax .GDAXI is progressing
0.51% and in London, the FTSE .FTSE advances by 0.75%.
The EuroStoxx 50 index of the euro zone .STOXX50E wins
0.37%, the FTSEurofirst 300 .FTEU3 rises 0.41% and the Stoxx
600 .STOXX takes 0.41%.
The Stoxx index of the .SX8P technology fund climbed
0.96%, the largest sectoral increase in Europe, driven by
the giants of the "tech" on Thursday on Wall Street.
Facebook FB.O (+ 2.16%), Microsoft MSFT.O (+ 2.17%) or
Amazon AMZN.O (+ 2.37%) reached record levels,
which brought the Nasdaq Composite Index .IXIC to a higher
history of 7,825 points in session.
The S & P "techs" index .SPLRCT gained 1.79% on the
session and now displays the best sectorial performance
on Wall Street since the beginning of the year.
ALTRAN CONCERNED
The recent rise in risk aversion has fueled the appetite of
investors for US equities, and for securities
in particular, considered to be safer
increased uncertainty, thanks to their dynamic earnings
very solid.
European equities tend to be neglected,
penalized by the slowdown observed at the beginning of the year
the economy of the euro area and the political turmoil in
Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom.
Trade tensions also weigh, while
the European Union is targeted by the protectionist policy of
Donald Trump who could affect including imports of
cars.
Funds invested in European equities turned eighteenth
week in a row of net outflows, according to Bank data
of America Merrill Lynch Global Research (BAML).
The rise, Friday, of the technology compartment in Europe
is despite the plunge by Altran ALTT.PA
(-16.94%) after the announcement of the discovery of irregularities at
its recently acquired Aricent subsidiary. The group said to have
discovered fictitious purchase orders for 10 million
million (€ 8.58 million) and indicated that this was
because of an individual on a client.
This incident leads Altran to revise the margin profile
from Aricent to around 15.6% over the last twelve months to June
2018.
"A certain skepticism could settle on the
Aricent's financial potential, while the group launched a
thorough investigation to verify that the incident is well
isolated, "say badysts at Invest Securities.
GREEN TICKET MONTE
On the foreign exchange market, the dollar index, which measures
the evolution of the greenback against a basket of six currencies
reference, is up 0.36% to come closer to a peak
almost a year to the end of June. .DXY
US currency benefits from recent indicators
encouraging on the US economy, and particularly on the
rate of inflation, which also pushed up somewhat the
10-year Treasuries. US10YT = RR
The euro thus comes back 1.1626 dollar, to a low since the

The traders will monitor at 14:00 GMT the publication of the
first estimate of the consumer confidence index
measured by the University of Michigan, which could show a
impact of trade tensions. The index is expected down
to 98.2 in July, compared to 99.3 the previous month, according to
economists polled by Reuters.
In the oil market, crude oil prices are falling
new, penalized by persistent trade tensions and
fears of an increase in production with the return
at the normal found in Libya and the prospect of a
relaxation of the agreement to reduce production between
members of OPEC and some major producing countries.
The barrel of Brent LCOc1 for now shows a decline in
4.7% since the beginning of the week, its biggest drop
weekly since the week to 9 February.
