Bloomberg, citing Citigroup's Azzurra Guelfi and Simon Nellis, noted French lenders could lose around 25 percent of their market value if Le Pen, a very vocal and outspoken critic of the euro and the European Union, emerges victorious in May.

Most polls have Le Pen trailing the front-runner Macron, but Citigroup analysts are naturally looking at President Trump's election win and the Brexit voting outcome as signs that polls are meaningless.
