The group of 19 countries exported goods for €170,3 billion and imported for €152.6 billion. Export increased 0.4% since January and import at 1.7%. Euro closed without any essential changes against US dollar at the level of 1.0710 but became stronger at 0.24% against pound sterling on 0.8375. It is supposed that already on May 7 the centrist Macron and the far right eurosceptic Le Pen will win in the first round but extremely left Melanson and the conservative Fillon quickly gain the steam in fight.
