France braces for a high-stakes budget battle as it heads into a presidential election, with investors bracing for market turbulence amid looming fiscal uncertainty. With a stubborn deficit, ambitious but costly campaign promises from candidates, and a history of policy reversals under public pressure, the government faces mounting challenges. Prime Minister Lecornu pushes for swift budget passage before the vote, hinting at major cuts—including potential pension freezes—though details remain sparse. Bond yields are already diverging sharply from Germany’s, and France’s credit rating, already downgraded last year, faces further scrutiny. The stage is set for political and financial chaos as both election and economy collide. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
