The Euro-dollar pair is attracting buyers towards 1.0500 at the start of the Asian session on Monday. The Euro is rising as the conservatives in Germany won the elections as expected. Traders are awaiting further German election results.
Exit polls showed that the opposition conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its ally Christian Social Union (CSU) won the most votes in Germany's federal election on Sunday. As a result, party leader Friedrich Merz became the next chancellor, while the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) came in second. All eyes are now on how soon the conservative Christian Democrats can form a coalition government to offer much-needed reforms to the struggling economy.
According to ZDF exit polls, the conservative CDU/CSU bloc won 28.5% of the vote, followed by the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) with 20% and Scholz's Social Democratic Party with 16.5%.
