Rise of far-right in Germany leaves markets waiting to see

Jornal de Negócios7 September 2026 at 15:00

The results of the state elections in Germany raise doubts about the governing capacity of the coalition led by Friedrich Merz, the CDU leader. The rise of the far-right in the country has been worrying analysts and markets, which are opting for a wait-and-see stance.

According to the analysis, it is still too early for markets to react more decisively to the German political situation. The analysts consulted indicate that they prefer to assess the developments before drawing more definitive conclusions about the impact on financial markets.

The economic context emerges as a relevant factor in explaining the electoral dynamics. Experts warn about the impact that the economic slowdown may have on the voting choices of German citizens, which could benefit radical parties at the expense of traditional forces.

Friedrich Merz, as leader of the governing coalition, sees his governing capacity called into question by the regional electoral results, at a time when the German economy faces significant challenges that may influence the future political landscape.
