Let us know. Just use the hashtag bbcbizlive. Welcome to the programme. Centrist Emmanuel Macron has gone through to the second round of the french election, where he will face far right leader Marine Le Pen. Mr macron, a former banker, is seen as a political outsider, having never run an Election Campaign before. The euro rose by 2 on the news its highest level in five months before giving up some ground this morning. Investors had worried that far leftjean Luc Melenchon would beat mr macron, giving voters a choice between two eurosceptic candidates. Macron is now considered to be the favorite to win the second round ballot and markets have warmed to his pledge to lower corporate taxes while lightening the Administrative Burden on firms. However, economic problems and challenges remain for whoever walks into the elysee palace. Top of the list, frances Unemployment Rate is running at around 10 , which is more than twice the rate of the uk and germany. So, how have Global Markets reacted to the results . Theo leggett is at Berenberg Bank in the city of london. So the euro is soaring and now Share Markets in europe are soaring too . Absolutely. The currency is up, and so are absolutely. The currency is up, and so are the Share Markets, and its easy to see why. This isnt about what has happened in the first round of the president ial election as opposed to what has not happened. We now know we will not see a second round run off between the far right candidate Marine Le Pen of the National Front and jean Luc Melenchon, the hard left candidate who models his economic policies on those of people like the later venezuelan leader hugo chavez. For business people, that was seen as the nightmare scenario, two eurosceptic candidates, one of whom Wa Nted Eurosceptic candidates, one of whom wanted to take france out of the euro, and a candidate who favoured extremely high taxation for the rich and a lot of State Intervention in industry. That hasnt happened. The run off will be between Emmanuel Macron, the Centrist Reformist candidate, and Marine Le Pen. In that scenario, nearly every poll puts Emmanuel Macron, and you can see what that has done on the markets. This is the paris stock exchange. As you can see, at the open was up exchange. As you can see, at the open was up more exchange. As you can see, at the open was up more than 5 . It is telling off a bit, but nevertheless, thatis telling off a bit, but nevertheless, that is a relief rally. Banking stocks are doing well. That it because the risk premium on bonds is going down, so bond yields are going to go up. Things are more settled. But lets not forget that there are two weeks to go before the second round of the president ial election and although Emmanuel Macron does look like the clear winner according to polls taken today, you can never guarantee anything. And that is the point. Once this relief rally tails off and people think ahead to may the 7th, people may wonder what a new government may look like. Even if Emmanuel Macron gets the job, it may be an Unusual Coalition in france. Absolutely. You have to remember where Emmanuel Macron has come from. His movement was only created about a year ago, and it is a coalition of different interests. It doesnt have a formal Party Structure and in a few weeks time, france will go to the polls again for parliamentary elections. Emmanuel macron, if he is president , will have to work with the winner of that election. He will have to work with a Prime Minister to get his policies enacted. He does have a certain level of endorsement from the republicans and from the more Mainstream Socialists at the moment, but once he is in power and once they are forming a parliament, if he doesnt manage to get enough of his own support, he may find it difficult to enact the platform of hope he has been setting out over the last year. He may find that the reality of life as president is different from the rhetoric of the campaign. Theo, thank you very much. Lets show you paris right now, a beautiful morning as a new day begins. Everyone is of course now looking ahead to make the seventh and the two candidates that remain. We will have more on that later on Business Live. Some of the news now.

Some interesting news came out of china today. Nearly 30 steel firms that have had their Production Licences revoked for not meeting industry requirements. Robin brant is in beijing. What we have here is evidence of fresh consolidation within chinas mammoth Steel Industry, and also evidence of a further clamp down by the authorities on those firms that refuse to comply with emergency measures when the pollution gets bad in the north of the country, where the Steel Industry is centred. Let me give you a few statistics that show you how big the Steel Industry is in china. China is trying to move 60 , the majority of its production base, into the hands of ten much bigger companies. That was supposed to happen two years ago, but has been pushed back to 2025. Historically, the industry here has been about small Scale Production companies. Around 300 of some 630 firms have been closed in recent yea rs, firms have been closed in recent years, so firms have been closed in recent years, so that shows you how serious china is about consolidating the industry. It is trying to move 100 Million Tonnes of production every year from what is currently churned out. This all comes amidst further evidence from the us that donald trump is concerned about steel dumping and anti competitive measures. The president announced a new probe on thursday. But the us and eu have concerns about chinas mammoth Steel Industry. Thank you, robin. Lets look at the markets.

Trevor, are Royal London Asset management with us. Trevor, are you Royal London Asset management with us. Trevor, are you with the Share Markets and the euro and cheering the outcome of sundays election in france . It is a positive outcome. One way to look at is that 40 of voters voted for somebody who was anti euro, so that was a bullet missed the markets, because if france were seriously considering leaving the euro, there would be all sorts of financial stress. You might say Marine Le Pen is through to the second round and she is one of these people who also thinks the euro is not a good idea, but the polls have mac run on 65 versus her 35 , and the polls were pretty accurate in the polls were pretty accurate in the first round, so the markets are taking the good news early. People feel there is a more centrist candidate. So it is notjust the equities market, it is the bonds and the euro reflecting that as well. Equities market, it is the bonds and the euro reflecting that as weltm is. You saw those three areas of stress, which are resolved at the moment.

But as you say, house prices are rising but at lower levels than we would expect at this time of year. So that is one way of looking at the health of the housing market. But what really matters is transaction levels. At rightmove, we can see the point where houses are agreed as opposed to when transactions are being done, and we can see that sales are agreed at the highest level we have seen for over a decade, so it is good news for a healthy housing market.
