Arkema's Stock Slides Nearly 3% and Threatens Its €59 Support
The specialty chemicals company sinks in mid-morning trading as the Parisian market falls amid revived inflation fears due to the energy shock. The stock continues a downward trend that began last week, moving towards a closely watched technical threshold.
A Significant Decline Brings the Stock to the Brink of Its €59.20 Support
Arkema's stock drops 2.91% to €58.30, down from a last close at €60.05. The stock is among the steepest declines in the SBF 120, which is down 0.75%, while the CAC 40 falls by 0.79%.
The movement occurs in a market burdened by the prospect of persistently high U.S. interest rates, following a much better-than-expected U.S. employment report. This climate mechanically weighs on European cyclical stocks, including specialty chemicals.
Over the week, the decline reaches 4.3%, extending a slide that began after the downturn on June 4th. The stock is down 6.4% over a month.

The price now moves below its short-term moving averages: the MM20 at €61.52 (a gap of -5.2%) and the MM50 at €60.95 (a gap of -4.4%) are both breached downwards. Only the MM200 at €56.02 remains below the stock, maintaining a positive gap of about 4%.
The RSI at 47 remains in the neutral zone, which does not send a signal of seller exhaustion. The identified support at €59.20 has already been breached during the session, paving the way for a test of the €56 area marked by the MM200 if the pressure continues.
On the governance side, Laurent Tellier will take over as Chief Operating Officer on July 1, 2026, succeeding Marc Schuller, as announced at the end of May. The next technical milestone remains the defense of the €59 level to avoid sliding towards the MM200.
