Podcast: Are French bond spreads a warning sign for Europe?

We discuss why France has once again become a key focus for investors.

L&G Talks

In this episode, Amelie Chowna, Head of Fixed Income Strategic Initiatives is joined by Erik Lueth, Economist; Simon Bell, Fund Manager; Marc Rovers, Head of European Credit; and Robert Griffiths, Global Equity Strategist, to discuss why investors are suddenly paying attention to France, whether recent market moves reflect country-specific risks or a broader global bond sell-off, and why equity and credit investors should care about what appears to be a sovereign debt story.

You can listen on Apple, Audioboom and YouTube.
