One of those more radical candidates, Marine Le Pen (far right), will oppose Macron in the runoff round, but polls are suggesting Macron has a 20 point lead. That final runoff round of the election will take place on May 7. </p><p>A presidential win for Macron would take the «Frexit» and EU disintegration idea off the table, so the more likely probability of that outcome is having a positive effect on risk assets globally. </p><p>The French results have had a positive effect on the euro, which is up 1.2% against the dollar (+0.0128 at $1.0852/euro). French equities are sharply higher, with France's CAC index +4.5%, and French bond yields have come down as concerns about the fate of the EU ease a bit.<br/> <br/> The rest of Europe is gaining with France, with Germany's DAX +3.0% and the UK's FTSE is +1.9%. Japan's Nikkei is +1.4%.<br/> <br/> Several related ETFs are moving, with French ETF (<strong>EWQ</strong>) and the German ETF (<strong>EWG</strong>) both gapping up in early trade. Other related ETFs include Vanguard FTSE Europe (<strong>VGK</strong>), iShares Europe (<strong>IEV</strong>), iShares MSCI Eurozone (<strong>EZU</strong>), SPDR Euro STOXX 50 ETF (<strong>FEZ</strong>) and the Currencyshares Euro trust (<strong>FXE</strong>).</p>"
