Why a Republican Win Could Trigger Euro and French Bond Sell-Offs
Market Forecasts Following a Republican Win
As the U.S. election nears, Charles Gave of Gavekal Research urges investors to prepare for potential market shifts if Republicans win. According to Gave, a strong Republican win could trigger a sell-off of both the euro and French bonds due to economic pressures within the eurozone.
Potential Impact on the Eurozone
The eurozone faces significant economic challenges, with France at the forefront due to rising deficits and escalating debt. Gave suggests that a Republican win could intensify these issues, as U.S. policies under such a government may increase long-term interest rates globally. This could particularly strain the French economy, which lacks the economic growth needed to offset its high debt levels.
Historical Parallels and Policy Shifts
Gave draws comparisons to the 1980 U.S. election when Ronald Reagan’s administration enacted transformative economic policies that affected global markets. If Republicans win and proceed with tax cuts and government reduction, U.S. companies may see higher returns on capital, while international borrowing rates could rise.
France’s Economic Fragility
Gave warns that France’s financial stability is increasingly at risk, potentially paralleling crises like Latin America in 1982, Asia in 1997, and Greece in 2011. “Higher U.S. rates will push up long-term rates in other major economies, posing a serious challenge for France,” he stated.
