Macro Drivers

ECB Rate Policy — ECB June 2026 cut still filtering through; Sep cut expectations support equity multiples.

Strait of Hormuz / Oil Prices — Oil at $81.8 — Hormuz uncertainty keeps upside pressure on energy costs for German industry.

EUR/USD at 1.1554 — Strong EUR compresses DAX exporters' USD revenues; every 1% EUR gain costs ~0.5% EPS.

Infineon Smart Power Fab Dresden — €5bn fab opens ahead of schedule — doubles capacity, boosts German tech sector sentiment.

US Equity ATH Momentum — S&P 500 at 7,763 and Nasdaq at 29,822 provide positive risk-on spillover into European equities.
