The CAC 40, FTSE and DAX are considered significant measurements for the overall health of the European companies.

Many factors can affect the CAC40, such as rate decisions, Wall Street, the Euro and Individual stocks.

In addition, individual stocks can impact the rest of the companies, especially one with a large weight allocation, which could shift the entire index's price.
