Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen have made it to the second round of France’s most unpredictable presidential election amid major anti-establishment sentiment.

The two outsiders will now face off in the second – decisive – round on May 7, shaking up not only French politics, but also the European political landscape.

Investors believe the stakes are high with possible consequences for the whole region and its fragile economic recovery.
