On Friday, March 31, the European stock markets closed the week and the quarter on an increase, despite several weeks of turmoil, linked in particular to the difficulties of SVB and Credit Suisse.

Financial markets seem delighted by the latest inflation figures, which are slowing slightly. After a fifth session of growth this week, Paris gained 0.81%. Indeed, the flagship CAC 40 index finished at 7,322.39 points, returning above its level on March 9, before the bank shock that pushed the index below 6,900 points. Since the start of the week, the index has increased by 3.59%. It was her best weekly performance since early January. Over the past three months, the Paris rating has thus increased by 13.11%, its best quarter since the end of 2020. Over the first three months of the year, European places thus gained between 12% and 14%. London grew by 0.15% on Friday and 2.42% over the quarter.
