With Ukraine desperately seeking cash to fund its defense and wartime budget needs, the country is running out of time before an August 1 deadline to agree with creditors on what portion of its foreign debt will be written off as a so-called “haircut.” In 2022, Ukraine and its creditors agreed to halt payments owed on its debt when Ukraine’s budget came under severe stress from Russia’s full-scale invasion. With the war raging two years on, the deal to freeze payments on around $23 billion owed to private bondholders will expire at the start of August. After a round of negotiations ended witho...

France's credit rating is sitting on a knife edge following Sunday's legislative elections, which have left a cloud of uncertainty over the nation's political future. That's according to a note published late on Monday by Moody's credit rating agency, which raises concerns about France’s economic outlook. "In light of the constraints that any future government faces, we are unlikely to see expenditure-based fiscal consolidation in 2025," said Moody's. The agency added that its rating for France could be downgraded if the country's debt situation deteriorates. A fragmented parliament will slow ...

On Friday, the yield on the 10-year US Treasury note climbed to 4.88 percent for the first time since 2007, while the 30-year offering reached 5.05 percent, also a 16-year peak.
