DAX 40: DAX higher as ECB call unscheduled meeting
European Equities are trading higher this morning as the regions bond’s advanced after the European Central Bank (ECB) announced an unscheduled meeting Wednesday to tackle volatile market conditions. Investors are looking to the ECB’s unscheduled meeting to give details on how it plans to keep bond yields of the region’s most vulnerable members in check.
This move follows a sharp widening in the spreads between the yields of Germany and more indebted southern nations, particularly Italy. Fears of stagflation driving stocks into a bear market while parts of the US yield curve remain inverted, signaling concerns that restrictive monetary policy will lead to an economic downturn.
Like most central banks the ECB is between a rock and a hard place, with high inflation, fragile economy and ever-rising energy costs any intervention to reduce risk will be welcomed.
Among the notable movers on the DAX were Continental Ag and Allianz who posted gains of 4% and 3.17% respectively.
