Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
French bonds outperformed, with yields down about 10bp across the curve and spreads over bunds tighter, after National Rally leader Marine Le Pen proposed cutting the deficit from 5-6% to just over 2% by 2032 and called for ECB action. Quebec's election produced a PQ minority government, which Scotiabank expects will constrain independence efforts and support provincial spreads. Weak German factory orders and French industrial output weighed on European data. US and Canadian trade data are due later.

Key arguments
- Le Pen's deficit-reduction proposal and ECB intervention call drove the French bond rally, despite Scotiabank viewing ECB action as highly contestable.
- The PQ's minority government, with 59 seats and 28% of the vote, will struggle to advance independence plans due to reliance on other parties.
- The Quebec election outcome is expected to support provincial bond spreads as the PQ's victory is seen as a rejection of other parties rather than a strong endorsement.
- Canadian exports could surge in nominal terms, but volume effects are uncertain; a pickup in imports could feed inventory investment.
Key numbers
- French bond yield change
- -10bps
- Le Pen deficit reduction target by 2032
- just over 2%
- Current French deficit
- 5-6%
- German factory orders (August)
- -10.6% m/m
- French industrial output (August)
- -0.3% m/m
Main risks
- Le Pen's call for ECB intervention is highly contestable and may not materialize, limiting further French bond gains.
- The PQ's minority government relies on other parties, making fiscal plans vulnerable to expensive campaign promises.
- Escalation of conflict with Iran could reverse the temporary relief from lower oil prices and reignite inflation fears.
Corresponding source evidence
Catalysts may include weak European data but more importantly a set of proposals by National Rally leader Marine Le Pen to sharply reduce the size of the fiscal deficit from 5 –6% under plans this year and next toward just over 2% by 2032.
· 2032The governing Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) under interim Premier Fréchette was literally wiped out, reduced to zero seats in the legislature from 90 after the prior election in 2022.
· 2022While the PQ guides that it won’t hold a referendum until after President Trump leaves office2014 —largely because it knows there is no current support for one —it would be ironic if Trump outlasts the PQ.
