Devaluation of franc triggers price freeze in France
France devalued the franc by 12.5 percent and imposed a price and profit freeze to buy time. Tourists welcomed lower prices while Parisians flooded the Paris Bourse during August, pushing stock prices up 7 to 20 percent as traders weighed the devaluation's impact. The effect on the franc leaves it at 17.5 cents from 20 cents, and gold in the Bourse basement held $41.51 per ounce amid currency controls.
