In France, Emmanuel Macron (independent) and Marine Le Pen (Far right) have come out as the 2 leading candidates of the first round of the presidential elections. The Second round will take place on May 7th with Polls indicating that Pro-EURO Macron will prevail. With the market now partially relieved that FREXIT will not happen due to polls indicating that anti EURO Le pen will lose on May 7th, the Euro and stocks surged last night.
EURUSD soared to 1.09 levels (5 months high) from 1.07 on Friday, following the results of the French Presidential election. Even a bigger winner, EURJPY climbed 400 pips.
