India, Oct. 2 -- French stocks gained ground in positive territory on Friday as weak oil prices helped lift sentiment even as concerns about Middle East tensions lingered.
The benchmark CAC 40, which advanced to 7,924.58, was up 54.36 points or 0.69% at 7,889.67 a little over half an hour past noon.
Oil prices fell reacting to reports that European Union countries are discussing a French proposal to release fuel and crude stockpiles to ease acute market tightness and help avert a potential U.S. diesel export ban.
