Macron seen beating Le Pen 61/39 - latest Opinionway poll

With the first round of French Presidential election out of the way, market focus now shifts to the incoming polls for the second round. 

The latest Opnionway poll results revealed a clear lead for liberal centrist, Emmanuel Macron, 61-39 against his far-right leader opponent Marine Le Pen. Although, the gap seems to have narrowed a bit from previous 64-36, but did little to the prevalent risk-on environment across global financial markets.
