[Uncertainties in French and German Politics Test Euro's Resilience] ⑴ An analyst stated in a report that uncertainty surrounding the political outlook in France and Germany could test the euro's resilience against the dollar. ⑵ He argued that the uncertainty surrounding the US midterm elections should not be interpreted as negative for the dollar simply because of existing political uncertainty in Europe. ⑶ The risk of a vote of no confidence remains for the French government after the prime minister announced plans to cut approximately €54 billion in fiscal spending in 2027. ⑷ In Germany, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) suffered a crushing defeat in two state elections last weekend. ⑸ The euro remained flat at approximately $1.15. ⑹ With political risks shifting between Europe and the US, the euro's short-term trajectory may depend more on the evolution of the political situation in France and Germany than solely on the dollar.
