More than 400,000 people have taken to the streets across France for a second consecutive weekend of mass protests. Demonstrators are demanding an end to education cuts and action on the rising cost of living. France’s budget deficit remains around 5%, while bond yields have reached their highest level in 24 years. With presidential elections approaching and lawmakers divided over €43 billion in spending cuts, investors are watching France’s political and fiscal direction closely. The European Central Bank is also expected to keep interest rates unchanged.#France #FranceProtests #FranceEconomy #DebtCrisis #Eurozone #ECB #EuropeanMarkets #Macron #MarineLePen
