French bond pressure persists; ECB unlikely to intervene, SocGen says

Eurozone government bonds remain under pressure from French political unrest, but Société Générale sees limited contagion and doubts ECB intervention, attributing the selloff to country-specific political uncertainty and credibility concerns over medium-term fiscal adjustment. Investor sentiment and flows will determine French borrowing costs, with a Moody's downgrade seen as certain. This echoes the 2018 Italy episode, suggesting a prolonged risk premium for French debt.
