India, July 29 -- French stocks are up firmly in positive territory on Tuesday with investors focusing on earnings and other corporate news, shrugging off some concerns voiced by several European officials that the US-EU deal arrived over the weekend is "unsatisfactory" and "significantly imbalanced."
Several top officials, including a senior European lawmaker, have criticised the draft trade agreement between the US and EU, warning that the deal could undermine the bloc's economic stability and job security.
Investors await some crucial economic data and policy announcements from the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan due later in the week.
The benchmark CAC 40 was up 123.45 points or 1.58% at 7,924.33 a few minutes ago.
