France bond yields climb amid unrest
The yield on 10-year French bonds rose to 4.94% following a wave of widespread unrest in France. The spread between French and German bond yields widened to over 150 basis points, the highest since 2012 during the eurozone crisis. Investors perceive French bonds as more vulnerable to risks compared to their German counterparts. The market is awaiting the rating agency "Moody's" decision regarding France's credit rating, which could lead to higher borrowing costs if the rating is downgraded. France faces economic and social challenges due to protests and attacks, while the Prime Minister seeks to reduce public spending amid deteriorating confidence in the country's economic future and rising debt levels, especially with the upcoming elections scheduled for 2027.
