Euro Rebounds After Far-right Party's Election Win In Italy

(RTTNews) - The euro rose against its most major counterparts in the European session on Monday, as Giorgia Meloni's right-wing coalition has claimed victory in Italy's parliamentary elections held on Sunday.

Meloni, who is head of the nationalist Brothers of Italy party, has won the election and is on course to become first female Prime Minister.

Provisional results suggested that the right-wing coalition has got 42.3 percent of the vote in the lower house.

Meloni's right-wing alliance, which includes Matteo Salvini's League, and Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia, has gained a parliamentary majority in the snap election.
