France’s fragmented National Assembly, resulting from the inconclusive 2024 snap legislative elections, remains the central driver of expectations for the next dissolution. President Macron retains sole authority under Article 12 of the Constitution to call new legislative elections, a power he has exercised once since 2022 amid repeated failures to secure stable majorities or pass budgets. Traders weigh ongoing coalition negotiations and government turnover against Marine Le Pen’s July 2026 eligibility ruling and the fixed April 2027 presidential contest, which limits Macron’s term. Recent 2025 attempts to stabilize governance without elections have prolonged uncertainty, while any shift in parliamentary arithmetic or legal developments could accelerate or delay a new vote.
