What is happening on the French Election?

France returns to the polls to decide if Emmanuel Macron or Marine Le Pen will be the next President of the French Republic. The outcome of the election will have significant impact in Europe and beyond.

During this time, traders should consider the possibility of:

1. Highly volatile markets, especially EUR currency pairs and European Stock Index CFDs
2. Limited market liquidity with resulting widened spreads and price slippage
3. Potential for a price gap between Friday market close and Monday market open
