On May 8, Jin10 reported that France's solar power generation reached a record high on Friday, surpassing grid operator forecasts and causing electricity prices to fall into negative territory. According to data from French grid operator RTE, solar power generation rose to approximately 20 gigawatts. Typically, strong solar power generation expectations would lead to next-day electricity prices dropping to negative values in advance, as the market factors in the oversupply. However, due to the sudden nature of this record increase, this did not occur on Thursday, and only Friday's intraday electricity prices fell below zero. RTE data also showed that France's nuclear power generation remained at a high level of about 33 gigawatts. In recent weeks, the French electricity group has maintained reactor operations at the request of grid operators to stabilize the system, despite significant drops in electricity prices. Around midday on Friday, the combined solar and nuclear power generation exceeded demand by about 10 gigawatts, with the excess electricity being exported to neighboring countries.

According to Jin10, Capital Economics analysts Ruth Gregory and Joe Maher have suggested that potential challenges to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer's leadership could unsettle the economy and markets. However, they believe the impact of any outcome will be overshadowed by the situation in the Middle East. Following poor performance in local elections, Starmer may face a challenge from a candidate with less conservative fiscal policies. This could lead to higher interest rates and UK government bond yields, although more relaxed fiscal and immigration policies might boost GDP. Nonetheless, the outcome of the Iran conflict is expected to have a much larger impact on markets and the economy. If Iran reaches an agreement with the United States, energy prices could fall, leading to a decrease in investor interest rate expectations and UK bond yields, regardless of domestic political developments.

Federal Reserve Board member Milan expressed on Friday his desire for current Federal Reserve Chair Powell to remain briefly as a board member after stepping down from his chair position. According to Odaily, Milan emphasized the importance of ensuring this is merely a transitional phase, rather than Powell having any undisclosed motives for staying on as a board member. Powell stated last week that he would continue as a board member for a period after his chair term ends, with his board term lasting until 2028. Milan hopes to see whether the Trump administration's legal challenges against the Federal Reserve will cease. Although Powell's continued presence on the board might provide a counterbalance to Kevin Warsh's reform plans for the Federal Reserve, Powell mentioned last week, "I do not wish to be a high-profile dissenter." Milan stressed the need to ensure this is a transitional phase to prevent internal loyalty divisions within the Federal Reserve and avoid uncertainty about leadership. He added, "This is why I believe, despite Powell's presence aiding the transition, we must ensure it remains a transitional period."
