Euro falls amid rising French risk premium
The euro experienced limited decline over the week, as the French sovereign risk premium rose to unprecedented levels since the Eurozone debt crisis in 2011, amid a wave of selling French bonds. In contrast, the Japanese yen advanced to its highest level since October 2025, driven by safe-haven demand as investors continue to hedge against global risks and stock market tensions. The US dollar index also fell by 0.20% against a basket of currencies, with expectations that both the Bank of Japan and the Federal Reserve will maintain their current policies in the coming week, supported by signs of inflationary pressures in Japan that could lead to interest rate hikes in the near future.
