French 10-Year Bond Yield Spikes Above 4.53%, Highest Since 2008
The move is more notable for its shape than its size: the front end sold off hardest while the 30-year actually rallied, a curve signal that points to rate expectations and fiscal-risk pricing rather than a broad duration exit. That France is being repriced alongside Italy, Spain and Greece suggests the driver is regional rather than purely French, which matters for anyone treating euro-area sovereign risk as a country-by-country story. Whether the long end keeps decoupling from the short end is the open question.
