On Sunday 23 April, round 1 of the French Presidential election will be held.
Due to possible volatility that any outcome may cause to financial markets, Dukascopy will extend the weekend margin policy by a few hours into the session starting Sunday 23 April 21GMT. There is no fixed time schedule to restore normal margin policy; it will be done once the election results are announced and after trading activity can be considered to be normal. Beware that no prior notice will be made to clients.
Please note that it is widely expected that a 2nd election round will be needed. It would take place on Sunday 7 May and further measure may be implemented at the time.
