Investors are relieved by the lack of a clear winner in the French elections, anticipating minimal policy changes due to political deadlock. French stocks rose alongside the broader European market, with bonds and the euro showing slight movements. Market concerns remain over France's debt burden and uncertainty following the left-wing alliance's success in the election, as it lacks an absolute majority. Despite the prolonged political wrangling, some view a hung parliament as a positive outcome for investors, contributing to the narrowing of bond spreads between France and Germany.
