- France's bond market suffered a sell-off that drew big investors "bottom fishing" in Eurozone bond markets, per the Financial Times.
- France's debt has been described as a "debt bomb" that risks destabilizing the eurozone, with concern over its economic situation growing in the US, per the Telegraph and Le Monde.
Why it matters: France's fiscal trajectory is being flagged as a potential eurozone flashpoint, with bond markets already pricing in stress through a sell-off that attracted opportunistic buyers.
