Список проголосовавших за комментарий " European Markets Update: FTSE +1.8%, DAX +3.0%, CAC +4.6%<p>Major European indices trade sharply higher in response to yesterday's vote in France, which has been deemed as favorable to the market. Centrist Emmanuel Macron (23.8%) received the most votes yesterday and will now take part in a run-off on May 7 against Marine Le Pen (21.5%). Investors have cheered yesterday's outcome, but it is worth noting that the strong support behind Ms. Le Pen suggests that parliamentary elections in June will result in National Front becoming the country's opposition party.
