India, Aug. 19 -- The French market is notably higher on Tuesday as investors pick up stocks amid hopes of a Russia - Ukraine peace deal after U.S. President Donald Trump described his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several other European leaders as "very good".
Trump also said that he's begun arranging a meeting between Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin within the next couple of weeks.
Zelenskyy said he is open to "any format" of talks and would decide on the trilateral meeting based on how the first round goes.
The benchmark CAC 40 was up 62.22 points or 0.8% at 7,946.27 a little while ago.
