UBS Group AG Chairman Axel Weber said the rally that swept European trading floors after elections in the Netherlands won’t endure in a region plagued by political risk this year.

“What we’ve seen in the Dutch election is that the center has been holding,” Weber said. “That leads to a short relief rally in the market. It’s not going to last” because the French election is approaching, he said in an interview with Bloomberg Television on Thursday.
