The euro jumped to a five-month high on Monday after Emmanuel Macron won the first round of voting in the French presidential election, easing worries that only anti-European Union candidates would be in the final runoff.Centrist candidate Macron and far-right politician Marine Le Pen won the most backing in the hotly contested vote Sunday, qualifying for the final round in May and shutting out the two mainstream parties.Investors had feared a “nightmare” scenario in which Le Pen and far-left candidate Jean Luc Melenchon — both euroskeptics — would come out on top in Sunday’s ballot, with one of them emerging as France’s next president after the second round on May 7. However, with almost all the votes counted, Macron had won 23.9% of the vote and Le Pen was second with 21.4%, followed by Melenchon and conservative candidate François Fillon at just shy of 20% each. via
