Anleihemarkt: Euro fällt auf 17‑Monats-Tief – Haushaltsunruhen destabilisieren

The euro has plummeted to its lowest level since May 2025, driven by growing concerns among investors over political instability and strained fiscal positions in several Eurozone countries. A stronger dollar adds pressure to the single currency. In Asian markets, the euro briefly fell 0.8% to $1.1161. Traders reported rapid sales of the euro by funds in Asia against the dollar, with additional sales triggered by options.

Reports from Spain, alleging government officials preparing for early elections, added to the market turmoil. France has become increasingly the focus of financial markets. The spread between French government bonds and comparable German sovereign debt reached its highest level since 2011, indicating investor concern over the increasing instability of the French government and the erosion of the country's fiscal anchor ahead of the 2027 elections, according to Homin Lee, a Senior Macro Strategist at Lombard Odier Singapore.
