France is facing a severe fiscal and political crisis as its 10-year government bond yield surged to around 5%, the highest since 2002. The country's deficit-to-GDP ratio remains well above the EU's 3% limit, with public debt expected to reach 118% of GDP by 2026. Violent protests against austerity measures and spending cuts reflect deep societal unrest, further destabilizing French bonds and raising concerns for the Eurozone's financial stability. Due to these risks, investors are currently favoring US Treasuries over European sovereign bonds.
