Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Tightening typically raises discount rates and compresses equity valuations, while a stronger euro can pressure exporters. Banks may benefit from higher rates, but overall risk assets like BBEU often underperform during rate-tightening cycles unless earnings growth supports multiples. Historical cycles (2011-2012, 2017-2018) show meaningful near-term volatility and multiple de-rating.
