Euro zone stocks rose sharply on Monday after Emmanuel Macron, the market-favoured candidate, won the first round of the French presidential election. The euro jumped about 1.3 percent to $1.0873, briefly reaching $1.0940, and the yen weakened against it.
A reduced risk of a French exit from the EU strengthens the euro against the dollar, which matters for dollar-priced grain and oilseed import costs in Europe. The effect on feed commodity prices themselves is limited.
Setelah 18 peristiwa geopolitik bullish sebelumnya, Euro (USD per EUR) bergerak median +1,9% selama 5 sesi (83% lebih tinggi; separuh tengah +0,9% sampai +2,0%), dan +2,0% selama 20 sesi.
Setelah 33 peristiwa geopolitik bearish sebelumnya, Dolar AS (Luas) bergerak median -0,6% selama 5 sesi (33% lebih tinggi; separuh tengah -1,5% sampai +0,2%), dan -0,8% selama 20 sesi.
