French stocks are likely to take a further beating from political risk over the coming weeks, but this will be focused in certain areas, according to strategists at Goldman Sachs."I do think it's been a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to sell off all French stocks," senior European strategist Sharon Bell told CNBC.
A National Rally win would likely further dent French domestic stocks, the investment bank said, though in the longer run the party could prove more business-friendly than expected if it remains focused on securing a candidate victory in the 2027 presidential election. "Now, that's not zero French exposure, and people obviously are adding an extra risk premium to France at the moment given the upcoming election," Bell told CNBC's "Squawk Box Europe" on Monday.
