French unrest compounds debt crisis fears. Paris-listed stocks, bonds and the euro fall

Political instability in France has triggered a severe market reaction as investors express growing anxiety over the country's fiscal health. Domestic stocks listed in Paris, benchmark government bonds, and the shared European currency faced heavy selling pressure. Analysts note that fiscal policy deadlock and social unrest leave policymakers with narrowing options to address structural budget deficits. This market stress is reigniting broader concerns regarding fiscal discipline within the Eurozone's second-largest economy. International investors are demanding higher risk premiums to hold French sovereign debt amid the escalating domestic turmoil.
