Loss of Value in the French Stock Exchange
President Emmanuel Macron’s decision to hold early elections in France had negative effects on the markets. Macron’s surprise early election decision increased the country’s risk premium and had a negative impact on the French banking sector. This caused the market value of companies on the French stock exchange to drop to $3.13 trillion.

With a market value of $3.18 trillion, the London stock market has surpassed Paris and reached the top.
