Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has called for snap elections on November 29 after his housing legislation failed to pass, adding to political volatility in the Eurozone. This development coincides with the Euro hitting a 17-month low, driven by concerns over French debt sustainability. The political instability in Spain and broader Eurozone weakness may pressure European equities and increase borrowing costs for regional governments. The Reserve Bank of India has commenced a three-day monetary policy meeting with market expectations pointing toward a rate hike, the first since 2023. This move reflects growing inflationary pressures and the RBI's response to global economic conditions. A rate hike in India could impact emerging market flows and strengthen the rupee, affecting multinational corporations with significant exposure to the Indian market.
