The Euro begins the week on the back foot against its major counterparts as renewed concerns over France’s public finances and political uncertainty weigh on sentiment toward the single currency.
French Finance Minister Roland Lescure has pledged to bring the country's budget deficit down from a targeted 5% of economic output next year to the European Union's 3% threshold by 2029. The proposed fiscal adjustment, however, faces a difficult parliamentary path because the government lacks a majority.
BBH analysts have questioned whether the plan can pass without substantial concessions, leaving markets doubtful that France can deliver the proposed consolidation on its current timetable.
Those concerns are increasingly visible in the sovereign bond market. France's 10-year yield is trading near 4.89%, after approaching 5% on Friday and reaching its highest level in decades. French borrowing costs have risen by more than 28% over the past two months.
The contrast with Germany has also become increasingly pronounced. The 10-year German Bund yield is near 3.41%, widening the premium investors demand for holding French government debt and reinforcing concerns surrounding the country's fiscal trajectory.
For the Euro, the combination of elevated borrowing costs, uncertainty surrounding the budget and questions over whether fiscal reforms can clear parliament creates another obstacle at a time when the currency is already struggling against a stronger US Dollar.
The widening gap between French and German borrowing costs is becoming an increasingly important pressure point for the Euro. Unless investors gain greater confidence in France's fiscal path, rallies in the single currency could remain vulnerable to renewed selling.
Technical Analysis
EUR/USD continues to unravel on the 4-hour chart, with the latest slide dragging the pair toward 1.1200 after another unsuccessful attempt to establish a meaningful recovery. The decline from the August highs has developed into a clear staircase lower, with brief periods of consolidation repeatedly followed by another wave of selling.
The latest technical damage has occurred around 1.1220–1.1230. Buyers previously attempted to build a floor around this region, but price has now slipped underneath it. The small rebound from approximately 1.1160 has also struggled to gain traction, leaving the recovery looking more like a temporary reaction to an extended decline than the beginning of a reversal.
Should 1.1160 surrender on another test, bearish momentum could quickly carry the pair toward 1.1110–1.1100. Beyond that, the chart provides relatively limited nearby support, creating scope for a deeper extension toward 1.1000, broadly matching the projected move shown on the 4-hour setup.
Any rebound will first have to overcome 1.1220–1.1230, which has now become an important recovery barrier. A stronger countertrend move could then challenge the 1.1340–1.1355 region, but this sits considerably above current prices and would require a substantial improvement in buying momentum. Higher up, 1.1460–1.1475 remains another major supply area.
What stands out most is the consistency of the decline. Each recovery has been shallower than the last, buyers have repeatedly lost important floors, and price continues to establish fresh lows. Unless EUR/USD can reclaim the recently broken 1.1230 region and begin dismantling that sequence, sellers retain the advantage.
