★ECB’s Nagel Says April Rate Hike ‘an Option’, Reuters Reports
"This report signals the European Central Bank might tighten monetary policy sooner than expected, driven by geopolitical risks like the Iran war. For investors, this means potential volatility in European markets and a stronger euro, impacting global trade and investment flows."
