EUR - The EUR continued its rising movement during the Asian hours. The positive movements were caused by the anticipated victory from Emmanuel Macron on the first poll of the french elections. The end result was as expected and surprised no one. We expect the common currency to remain long.
USD - The greenback traded higher during the Asian session, as investors shift focus towards the tax reform, promised to be done this Wednesday. We expect higher volatility when trading with USD.
JPY - The Yen weakened as result of the French election outcome and traded lower. This decline is probably short-perioded, as tensions around North Korea heightened.
Idexes - The futures of US indexes opened with large gains, and most likely will be followed by Europe.

Some of the companies that will publish reports are: Alcoa, Boeing, Paypal, Twitter, Google, Amazon etc.
