Session. The French Market has been up 1. 3 for the week. Fresh alltime intraday high yesterday. Although there is softness on the dax, we are seeing fresh territory. As we get going this morning, we are seeing green moving on the board of the stoxx 600 and fresh alltime highs yesterday. We are looking for the levels to be breached today.
