1022 GMT - Uncertainty over France and Germany's political outlook could test the euro's resilience versus the dollar, HSBC's Paul Mackel says in a note.

The risk of a no-confidence vote in the French government lingers after Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu said he would reduce fiscal spending by 54 billion euros in 2027, he says. In Germany, Chancellor Friedrich Merz's Christian Democratic Union suffered heavy losses in two state elections at the weekend. The euro trades flat at $1.1479.
