European Markets Desk
Eva Müller
Eva covers UK, German, and broader Eurozone markets — FTSE 100, DAX, CAC 40 — alongside ECB and BoE policy, fiscal politics, and the cross-asset implications of EU regulation. The European desk tracks index moves on each major exchange, the gilt and bund curves, EUR/GBP/CHF crosses, and corporate news at the FTSE 100 / DAX 40 level. Analysis often connects EU policy decisions (CBAM, SFDR, MiFID, Solvency II) to corporate flows.
