Anti-EU gains spook investors

Investors will this week be watching election results that could deal a blow to political parties who are key to reform efforts in the EU and could also fan instability in Ukraine.

The bonds of some struggling eurozone governments were sold off last week as investors worried about expected gains for anti-EU parties in European Parliament votes.

In Greece, a strong showing by parties opposed to its EU-led bailout may hurt the fragile coalition government, potentially paving the way for a new national vote.
