European financial markets staged a relief rally after Emmanuel Macron topped the first round of voting in the French presidential election and solidified his prospects of becoming the country’s next leader.
Europe’s Stoxx 600 index closed the day more than 2% up, a new 52-week high, with bank shares leading the way. France’s CAC 40 index surged more than 4% while London’s FTSE 100 was up more than 2%. Banks including Crédit Agricole, Société Générale and BNP Paribas were all trading more than 10% higher. The UK’s big banks also made solid gains, with Barclays, Standard Chartered and Royal Bank of Scotland all up more than 4%.
The DAX closed up 3.4% at an all-time record of 12454.9.
The euro gained, and was recently up 1.3% at $1.0858, as fears receded that the currency was facing an existentialist threat. Marine Le Pen, who is through to the final round of voting but is seen losing to Macron, has signalled she wants to pull France out of the euro.
The French result also lifted US stocks, with the S&P and Dow both up more than 0.9% by the time stocks closed in Europe. US banks were among the biggest winners.
