An indicator measuring the risk of French bonds broke through key levels on Tuesday, highlighting the challenges faced by the French government in trying to control budget deficits and calm cost-of-living protests. The additional yield required by investors to hold French 10-year treasury bonds rather than the safer German treasury bonds rose 2 basis points to 150 basis points; this is a level that has received much attention. The last time this happened was on October 5. Earlier this month, increased political and fiscal pressure prompted many investors to clear French treasury bonds, and the spread once peaked at 159 basis points.
