Warm up the tar and feathers as French presidential candidates go to war on tv

The French election battle could heat up tonight

There could be some euro moves later on this evening as the five main presidential candidates go head to head on French tv at 19.30GMT.

Le Pen, Macron, Fillon, Hamon and Melenchon will lock horns on the TFI channel for over 2 hours. Depending on the mood from France during and after the show, the euro could be susceptible to moves depending on which way sentiment goes towards which candidate.

It should also make the following day's opinion polls something to watch a bit closer.

I don't know if there's audience participation or if it will be host-led but if the audience is involved, debates like this can give us a good idea of how people are thinking.

In the run up to the Brexit vote, a BBC debate gave the biggest signal that the UK might be voting to leave.
