Why markets are watching Europe's radical political shift with equanimity
In 2027, there will be 9 general elections in EU countries, including Spain, France, Italy and Greece.
The market reacted calmly to the victory of the far-right party AfD in the state elections in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, with the DAX 40 index falling only 0.15%. However, analysts warn that this outcome may increase pressure on the federal government and raise concerns about political fragmentation. Next year, 9 general elections will take place in EU countries, including Spain, France, Italy, and Greece, which may create political risk and uncertainty.
The elections in Saxony-Anhalt may also have implications for the German government's plans for investment in defense and infrastructure.
