French Olympics
French President Macron had called for a political truce during the French Olympics. He said the time should be used for sports engagements. This might delay the nomination of a new Prime Minister and the forming of a new government. Speaking to the media in Elysee on Monday he stated that French people would need some rest. Meanwhile the EUR has weakened somewhat as the common currency is losing some steam in general.
