Buy with the rumour, sell with...markets hit the brakes after Macron victory

A collection of profits in European stocks after the strong gains of recent weeks. Emmanuel Macron gained victory over Marine Le Pen in the French presidential election, disregarding political uncertainty for the moment in Paris. However, the market began the week with losses. Investors bought with the rumour and sold with the news, already confirmed and priced in. The Ibex 35 fell 0.35% to 11,096.30 points.
