Anyone who obtains >50% of the vote with a participation of at least a quarter of the local electorate automatically wins a seat. Candidates who do not “Those who obtained >12.5% of the votes will go to the second round on July 7.”
“The Euro (EUR) was last at 1.07 levels. Bearish momentum on the daily chart is showing signs of fading while the RSI was flat. Trades in both directions still likely ahead of French elections on Sunday. Support at 1.0660/70 levels (recent low) before 1.06 levels. Resistance is seen at 1.0770 (50 DMA), 1.0810 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement of 2024 high to low, 100 DMA).”
