European stocks rise after first round of French vote
Sruthi Shankar and Jesus Calero
European stocks gained on Monday, with French shares leading the charge after the far-right National Rally (RN) party scored historic gains in the first round of parliamentary elections, but by a smaller margin than what some opinion polls had suggested.
France’s blue-chip CAC 40 index jumped 1.1 per cent to lead gains among regional markets. That helped the region-wide STOXX 600 index rise 0.3 per cent, snapping four consecutive sessions of losses.
