Targeted curfews in central Paris zones such as Place de la République and Les Halles, imposed after October 17–18 protests escalated into widespread rioting and looting, have restored calm on multiple nights and remain in force nightly from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. through at least October 26. French authorities, including Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu and Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez, extended the measures locally after initial success, while deploying additional police and anti-terror units ahead of further demonstrations. A large October 24 march produced some clashes but less violence than the prior weekend amid heightened security. Trader sentiment reflects uncertainty over whether the restrictions will lift immediately after October 26 or persist amid ongoing cost-of-living grievances and potential follow-on unrest.
