CAC2000 hits a new record high of $10.
The TOP 10 listings at the end of the week, have a number of changes. Caribbean Producers returns with after the price slipped back to $5.30 from $5.50 and Caribbean Cream that was shunned by investors based on poor 2018 full year results, jumped 29 percent to $6.25 following the release of the first quarter results, with profit rising 59 percent. Medical Disposables renters the TOP 10 as well as Elite Diagnostic, replacing AMG Packaging and Caribbean Flavours both with earnings downgrade.
