The desk interprets France's recent budget announcement as insufficient to alleviate pressure on bond markets, with the projected public deficit for next year poised to hit 6.5% of GDP without significant corrective steps. This assessment aligns with concerns raised by analysts at Commerzbank and ING, who suggest that the fiscal measures outlined, while preventing a deeper deficit, fail to deliver stability to public debt levels or address slow revenue growth. The consensus target for EUR/USD remains at 1.17 with divergence in underlying forecasts, indicating a range of sentiment in the market landscape as we approach the end of the year.
