French-German bond yield gap reportedly reaches 152 basis points

A market account reports that France’s 10-year yield premium over Germany widened to 152 basis points, reaching levels not seen since 2011. It cites Candriam’s Nicolas Forest, who warns France’s deficit could approach 6% of GDP and potential October ratings downgrades could add pressure. Separately, one commentator argues that political paralysis is the primary driver of French yields, worsened by the global picture.
