Where are the ECB's key interest rates heading?

You are under a complete misconception. Without commenting further on this, it can be said that the powder keg "Middle East" can explode at any time.

Never underestimate your opponent! Your next mistake. A few Russian hypersonic missiles fired by the Iranians or Houthis would easily overcome the Iron Dome.

When the Middle East is on fire, nothing will get through the Strait of Hormuz and oil prices will multiply, which (as with the senseless sanctions on Russian energy) will lead to massive cost increases. Then it won’t matter (just like with the sanctions, by the way) where the key interest rate currently stands. The thing with the DNA is really funny. Do you really believe that?

Yes. Every transaction has effects on the stock market, interest rates, derivatives, etc. That is exactly the basis for trading to arise in the market at all. If you want to sell your stocks, someone has to buy them. If no one wants them, they are worthless. 0 EUR... Slowly, dear Buchsbaum, I no longer believe that you are really a successful entrepreneur... your understanding is rather around the level of 8th grade at the local secondary school...
