French stocks turned in a mixed performance Friday morning with investors largely staying wary of making significant moves while assessing the situation in the Middle East and reacting to news about Hezbollah rejecting a new ceasefire agreement with Israel.
Tensions between Israel and Hzbollah rose after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) eliminated Hezbollah's engineering unit commander Abed Harb.
Investors also awaited the crucial U.S. jobs data due later in the day.
