Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The 0.6% Q3 GDP print signals slower Spain growth, likely pressuring Spanish equities and banks. EWP's holdings track Spain-focused assets; macro weakness tends to compress earnings multiples and fund inflows, as seen in prior Spain downturns. Expect near-term underperformance vs broad Europe if the data reinforces risk-off sentiment.
