France braces for more protests as Yellow Vests urge 'mass disobedience'
French unions and student groups plan another day of protests on Saturday. The Yellow Vests movement intends a separate rally in central Paris despite a ban from the authorities. The demonstrations follow weeks of youth-led unrest and nationwide strikes, in which hundreds of thousands of workers protested over the rising cost of living.
📊 What it means for markets
Protests like this are mainly a domestic political and social matter. They may add some uncertainty for French assets such as the euro or French stocks, while direct effects on gold, oil, USD or crypto are often limited.
