iShares MSCI Switzerland ETF·Financial Services

European stocks are set to rise on Tuesday as investors brace themselves ahead of President Trump's deadline for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz.

I maintain a Hold rating on iShares MSCI Switzerland ETF (EWL) due to its premium valuation and mixed technicals. EWL trades at 18.1x earnings with a PEG near 3, limiting its current valuation appeal despite a 14.5% 12-month gain. The ETF is highly liquid, top-heavy in Health Care (notably Novartis and Roche), and lacks significant Tech or Energy exposure.

The central bank last month left its key interest rate unchanged at 2%, but set out a number of ways in which developments in the Iran War might affect the eurozone's economic outlook.

The European Commission proposes 17 laws to unite capital markets, backed by major economies.

The European Central Bank is determined to prevent any energy-driven inflation from broadening out, but it is too early to discuss dates for possible interest rate hikes, French central bank chief Francois Villeroy de Galhau told Italy's La Stampa newspaper.

The European Central Bank should not rush to raise interest rates to combat a surge in inflation and should instead take time to analyse whether the jump is becoming entrenched, board member Isabel Schnabel said on Friday.
The iShares MSCI Switzerland ETF seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of Swiss equities.
