• Momentum Global Investment Management flagged a sharp repricing of French sovereign risk, with the 10-year OAT-Bund spread above 140 bps.
• France’s 10-year OAT yield climbed to about 4.6%, an 18-year high, outpacing Germany and lifting France-specific risk premia.
• Spread almost doubled since the start of 2026, moving above comparable maturity spreads for Italy and Greece.
• Analysis tied the move to debt near 120% of GDP, a projected 5.4% deficit, political fragmentation, and doubts over EUR 54 billion cuts.
• Momentum warned sustained stress could tighten European financial conditions, with rising bank spreads and CDS, though still below 2012 extremes.
