Alert in the European market: the French bond already yields more than 5%

France's 10-year bond yield has reached 5% for the first time in 24 years, amid recent protests and concerns over the country's fiscal pressure and political instability. The yield has increased by 145 basis points this year, from 3.56% at the start of the year.
