- The ECB cautions that the recent stock market recovery is at risk due to geopolitical uncertainty.
- Markets remain highly sensitive to global trade news, according to ECB Vice President Luis de Guindos.
- Equity valuations are high despite recent sell-offs, and credit spreads appear misaligned with credit risk.
- Open-ended corporate bond funds have experienced outflows and may struggle with liquidity stress.
