No G20 government has fallen this month; France's budget fight is the one to watch

Why it's at this level

No G20 government has fallen and no coup was reported as of 1 Nov. France saw a third weekend of social protests on 31 Oct, with about 320,000 marchers by the Interior Ministry's count and 27 arrests by mid-afternoon (Euronews). The US holds midterm elections on 3 Nov.

What this means for you

Political risk is building rather than acute. A French government collapse would likely push its borrowing costs higher.

Why it matters

Coups, contested elections and constitutional crises in large economies unsettle markets, alliances and policy.

What moves it

Elections, government collapses, coups, emergency rule, mass protest movements.
