1. French election relief: France has chosen centrist reformer Emmanuel Macron as its next president. Macron wants to keep France at the heart of the European Union. His defeated far-right rival, Marine Le Pen, offered a very different vision: She campaigned on a promise to drop the euro and had threatened to pull France out of the EU.

| News: What you need to know about the markets | | | | | | | French election relief; China trade; Markets mixed | By Ivana Kottasová
Monday, May 8th, 5:09am | | | | 1. French election relief: France has chosen centrist reformer Emmanuel Macron as its next president. | | | | Macron wants to keep France at the heart of the European Union. His defeated far-right rival, Marine Le Pen, offered a very different vision: She campaigned on a promise to drop the euro and had threatened to pull France out of the EU. | | | | The euro edged up 0.2% to above $1.10 in early Asia trading, its highest level since November. It slipped back a little in European trade on Monday. | | | | French stocks dipped slightly in early trading. | | | | Despite the sweeping victory, Macron still needs to win over the French parliament in order to push ahead with economic reforms. | | | | He will also need to reconcile his vision for the future of the eurozone with that of France's biggest ally, Germany. | | | | 2. China trade data: Data published Monday showed slower trade growth in China, with exports growing by 14% in April over the previous year. That compares to a 22% growth rate in March. Imports grew by 18.6% in April over the previous year, down from 26.3% in March. | | | | Chinese foreign currency reserves data for April showed an uptick in capital leaving the country. | | | | "Looking ahead, we think that capital outflows could pick up further in the coming quarters, particularly if the U.S. dollar starts to strengthen again," said Julian Evans-Pritchard of Capital Economics. | | | | 3. Global market overview: U.S. stock futures were lower early on Monday. | | | | European markets were mostly weaker. Asian markets finished the session mixed. | | | | The Dow Jones industrial average closed 0.3% higher on Friday, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq were both up 0.4%. | | | | Before the Bell newsletter: Key market news.
