French markets are currently stable, despite the possibility of a no-confidence vote that could potentially destabilize the government led by Prime Minister Michel Barnier. The political uncertainty surrounding the administration, particularly after the passage of an unpopular budget, has made investors nervous.
As the debate on the motion to topple the government began, the risk premium on 10-year bonds tightened slightly to 84 basis points. At the same time, the benchmark stock index saw modest gains, indicating cautious optimism among investors ahead of the vote.
The outcome of this vote is crucial, as it could prolong the ongoing political turmoil that has been affecting the country's financial assets. Market observers are closely monitoring developments, which have significant implications for both domestic and international investors.
