On the week:

  • German DAX +0.5%
  • UK FTSE 100 +1.6%
  • French CAC -2.1%
  • Italy MIB -1.5%
  • Spain IBEX +1.4%

French stocks lagged as Le Pen pulls nearly even with Macron ahead of the first round of Presidential elections. The second round is April 24 and I expect that to continue to be a headwind.
