France protests and global markets outcome
France is facing a complex economic and political crisis resulting from widespread protests over living conditions and public services. These protests have led to government bond yields reaching levels not seen in two decades, with the 10-year bond yield approaching 4.9%. The market is demanding a reduction in fiscal deficits, while the government continues to face public pressure to protect social services, making it difficult to pass austerity measures and cut spending. This crisis is increasing borrowing costs and intensifying pressure on economic growth, which was weak at just 0.4% in 2026, amid deepening political divisions and a challenging economic environment. The situation becomes even more difficult as borrowing costs rise and risks in Eurozone markets escalate, as the central bank and government attempt to balance public demands with investor confidence.
