France began voting in a presidential runoff election Sunday with repercussions for Europe’s future, with centrist incumbent Emmanuel Macron the front-runner but fighting a tough challenge from far-right rival Marine Le Pen. The centrist Macron is asking voters to trust him for a second five-year term despite a presidency troubled by protests, the pandemic and the war in Ukraine. A Macron victory in this vote would make him the first French president in 20 years to win a second term. The result of voting in France, a nuclear-armed ...
What if central banks never succeed in terms of reining in longer wave drivers of inflation and that structural drivers are being unleashed that could invoke profound longer term behavioural adjustments? Some of this view is why even the most preferred market-based measures of longer run inflation expectations like the Fed’s 5y5y measure are significantly above 2% (chart 1). This is occurring simultaneously to pricing fairly aggressive rate hikes. The market is signalling that central banks will struggle to get the genie back in the ...
post at 3:38pm: MACRON LEADS LE PEN 51%-49% IN POLL AHEAD OF FRENCH RUNOFFEuro Opens Stronger After French Election 1st Round Signals Macron Leading Le Pen Into Runoff Update (1515ET): The euro has opened around 0.6% stronger against the dollar after the results of the first round of the French election did not surprise drastically... chart Partial Results as follows: table Melenchon repeatedly tells his supporters not to give a single vote to Marine Le Pen. Betting markets are rallying behind a Macron win in the runoff. Update (1402ET): As predicted by the polls and bookmakers in recent days - but certainly not liked by the establishment - President Macron is set to face his nationalist rival Marine Le Pen in the final round of the French election, according to projections by polling companies after Sunday’s initial ballot. Macron got around 29% of the vote compared with about 24% for Le Pen, according to pollsters’ projections based on partial results. Far-left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon was third with around 20%. Far-right Zemmour has 6.5%-7.2% of the vote, according to 5 pollster estimates. Turnout was notably low with almost 26.2% of voters not turning out at the polls (up 4 percentage points from the last presidential election). The two leading candidates will go forward to a final ballot on April 24 to decide who will lead Europe’s second-biggest economy. The most recent polls had Macron leading the first round and winning a runoff, but they also showed Le Pen narrowing the gap. Bloomberg reports that the cratering of establishment politics in France continues. “I am waiting for more details. We could be entering a terrible zone of turbulence,” says Philippe Waechter, chief economist Ostrum Asset Management. “This is a wake-up call. I expect an increase in the spread with Germany and an impact on equities too.” Melechon’s votes going to Le Pen is a big r

From the market stall outside Paris that she’s run for 40 years, Yvette Robert can see first-hand how soaring prices are weighing on France’s presidential election and turning the first round of voting on Sunday into a nail-biter for incumbent President Emmanuel Macron. Shoppers, increasingly worried about how to make ends meet, are buying ever-smaller quantities of Robert’s neatly stacked fruits and vegetables, she says. And some of her clients no longer come at all to the market for its baguettes, cheeses and other tasty offerings. ...
