Euro Declines to 17-Month Low Amid French Fiscal Concerns; Dollar Strengthens
The euro fell to a 17-month low amid concerns over France's fiscal outlook and political uncertainty ahead of the 2027 elections, contributing to a selloff in French government debt. Despite weak U.S. jobs data, the dollar strengthened, supported by elevated Treasury yields and safe-haven demand. Market volatility and diverging central bank expectations continue to pressure currency markets, with the euro facing sustained declines against major currencies including the dollar, sterling, and the Swiss franc.
