Thursday, October 22, 2026
Pooja Kumra, head of Europe and UK rates strategy at TD Bank, stated that French buyers are not ready to step in to the bond market at this time. The spread between French and German 10-year bond yields widened to its highest level since late 2011, according to Bloomberg data. The spread increase followed a broad shift away from riskier assets and ahead of planned weekend protests in France.
