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

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.

Goldman Sachs said on Monday it expects the European Central Bank to deliver two 25 basis point interest rate hikes in April and June, joining peers J.P.Morgan and Barclays as policymakers signal inflation risks driven by the Middle East war.
The iShares Currency Hedged MSCI Eurozone ETF seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of large- and mid-capitalization equities from developed market countries which use the euro as their official currency while mitigating exposure to fluctuations between the value of the euro and the U.S. dollar.
