Investors who had been nervous about the prospect of the far right winning the election in the Netherlands have welcomed the victory of the Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte's party, which beat the party led by the anti-Islam lawmaker Geert Wilders.

The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Rob Young has been listening to the views of ordinary Dutch people and experts in Amsterdam. (Picture: View of a canal in Amsterdam. Copyright ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½.)
