Watch / Outlook
France's 2027 draft budget is under review in the National Assembly, and officials have confirmed a 54 billion euro spending-cut plan, but judging from the review process it is unlikely to win a parliamentary majority [evidence:344340]; next, watch whether Moody's rating decision and the budget review change the deficit path.
Linkage
France's 10-year yield broke through 5%, and its spread over German bonds briefly approached 160 basis points [evidence:344340] / watch changes in the issuance costs of the roughly 340 billion euros in medium- and long-term bonds the French government plans to issue in 2027.
