French stocks surged as snap legislative elections in France resulted in no party securing a majority in the National Assembly, causing market turbulence fears due to looming political gridlock. Anxiety remains high as traders worry about increased government spending and potential conflict with the European Union over the budget deficit. Despite the uncertainty, stocks rebounded with the CAC 40 Index rising 0.5%. Market participants express concerns about political risks, but also indicate potential positive outcomes, such as a softer fiscal stance or market recovery once election uncertainty passes.
