What do analysts say?

Analysts at fintech firm Ebury explain that “as expected, Le Pen’s coalition won the first round of the French Assembly elections yesterday, while Mélenchon’s left-wing Front finished a strong second and Macron’s centrist party finished a poor third. However, it remains unclear whether the far-right coalition will secure an absolute majority in the second round of elections next Sunday.” The euro was slightly higher in the early hours of Asian trading, as the first round result was largely in line with polls and market expectations, and perhaps also due to relief that the left-wing Front did not outperform the polls. The other focus of political attention was on the United States, where Biden’s dismal debate performance has left Trump the clear favourite to win the November election, although financial markets are taking the result in stride. Politics will remain a focus for investors and talks this week. The second round of French legislative elections, the possibility of Biden dropping out of the US presidential race and the UK general election on Thursday make for an unusually busy calendar that could generate a lot of volatility.”

Martin Wolburg, chief economist at Generali AM: “After the first round, the French elections will still be the focus of many investors. However, there will also be a general election in the UK on 4 July (Thursday). The country has been governed by the Conservatives since 2010. However, polls overwhelmingly show a shift from a centre-right to a centre-left Labour government. “It is very likely that the next election will give Labour a very comfortable majority.”
