French Bonds Are Up

Emmanuel Macron’s success in the first round of the French presidential election has seen the nation's assets kicking away the political fears of the past six months.

If he does win the second round to become president, as the markets now fully expect, then a more unified Europe may well result.

French government bonds extended their outperformance against German and other eurozone debt on Tuesday, with a key fixed income barometer of political risk easing further.

Generally French corporate bonds are up.
