ECB's Hawkish Tone and My DAX Watchlist
Been watching the ECB commentary pretty closely this week, and the hawkish undertones are becoming harder to ignore, especially after the latest $CPI data came in around 25.60. It feels like they're setting the stage for a prolonged higher-for-longer narrative, even if the market isn't fully pricing in aggressive hikes like we saw last year.
I'm curious how others are viewing this in relation to European equities. My DAX watchlist is feeling a bit heavy, especially in sectors sensitive to higher rates. Thinking of rotating a bit more towards defensive plays or those with strong balance sheets that can weather a tighter monetary environment. Anyone else seeing similar shifts in their screens or considering rebalancing their exposure?

That's an interesting take on the ECB's position. I'm wondering, do you think the market's current reaction is more about a wait-and-see approach, or do you see genuine skepticism about the ECB's ability to maintain that hawkish stance long-term?
