European Stocks Split as French Unrest Clouds Risk Appetite

France said it would deploy troops after admitting failures in handling weekend unrest, a development that Investing.com reported was denting risk appetite across European equities. Poland's WIG30 closed down 0.20% on the session. But the picture was not uniform. Turkey's BIST 100 jumped 3.22% and Denmark's OMX Copenhagen 20 gained 0.72% on the same day, showing investors treated the French unrest as a localized risk rather than a continent-wide one. What's unresolved is whether the French government's troop deployment calms the unrest or extends it, which would determine whether the pressure on French-linked shares spreads to other European markets in the sessions ahead.
