Eurozone bond market selloff hits French debt and drives investors to German safe-haven assets
French government bond yields surged amid a broad eurozone bond market selloff, with investors dumping debt of countries deemed riskier and moving into German bunds. French 10-year yields reached 4.93%, up 0.18 percentage point, while spreads widened relative to Germany in a pattern reminiscent of the early-2010s eurozone debt crisis. The selloff occurred against a backdrop of French fiscal concerns, political protests over proposed wage freezes and school funding cuts, and a broader global rise in sovereign yields.
