German blue-chip stocks show more promise than their French counterparts, Barclays' strategists wrote in a note Friday, saying France has weak"long-term fiscal and growth fundamentals" and a looming risk of bond vigilantes sweeping in.years of potential political uncertainty Doing so"would arguably be a relief given the high-risk premium embedded in French assets," the Barclays' strategists continued, potentially pushing the spread — the difference in yield between two bonds — between German and French government debt from around 84 basis points currently to their 70-to-75-basis-point range of the past few months.
