French government bond yields surged following weekend protests, reflecting investor worries about political instability and fiscal health. The euro weakened and the CAC 40 index dropped nearly 1%, with French debt spreads over German bonds hitting levels last seen during the euro-area debt crisis. Investors doubt the minority government’s ability to pass the 2027 budget and reduce the deficit, raising concerns about higher taxes and borrowing costs. The situation poses risks of a sovereign debt crisis unless France implements tough fiscal reforms amid upcoming elections and social unrest.
