France faces pre-election bond sell-off, Eurozone stability at risk

France is experiencing a pre-election bond sell-off and surging borrowing costs, driven by investor concerns over its fiscal trajectory and budget stability. This situation is generating fears of contagion across the broader Eurozone bond markets and reigniting speculation of a sovereign debt crisis, potentially requiring European Central Bank (ECB) intervention. The outcome remains uncertain as political instability intersects with market pressures.
