Spreads versus Yields

Spreads versus Yields

Divided parliament is unusual in the case of France but not unusual for markets.

There are some major differences to previous debt stress episodes: spread widening is not triggering a rise in French yields. In the case of France, yields are falling, despite spreads rising.

A great debate here between @justinwolfers.bsky.social & B. Wolf on the gap in economic performance between the US & the Euro area.

US authorities should be praised for supporting growth, while Europe is always on the shy side, but this growth gap required considerable excess resources by the US.
