The Pan-European Stoxx 600 index closed down 0.2%after reaching maximum records in the previous session.
The French stock market returned the gains and closed practically stable, after a strong settlement on Monday triggered by the abrupt renunciation of Prime Minister Sebastien Leconnu.
Leconnu began two days of last -minute negotiations to try to form a new government, while analysts warn that political chaos can make the 2026 budget unfeasible.
“For financial markets, what really matters is the budget and how it will unfold,” said Anthi Touvali, strategist of multiple active office at the Global Wealth Management Global Wealth Investment Office.
“It’s a situation where we may not have a government for a while and it will create a lot of volatility.”
