The CAC 40 represents 40 largest stocks on which market?

• A. London Stock Exchange
• B. Euronext Paris
• C. Tokyo Stock Exchange
• D. Frankfurt Stock Exchange

Answer: (B)

The CAC 40 is the benchmark for the Paris market, tracking the 40 largest and most liquid shares listed on Euronext Paris. This makes Euronext Paris the correct market, since the index reflects the performance of French equities traded there. The other exchanges—London, Tokyo, and Frankfurt—are separate markets and not where the CAC 40’s underlying stocks are listed.
