NEGATIVE IMPACT
The iShares MSCI Germany ETF (EWG), which tracks the investment results of an index composed of German equities, may face short-term negative impact due to Germany's Q1 GDP contraction.
Given that EWG's performance is closely tied to the economic health of Germany, the reported contraction in GDP for Q1 is likely to dampen investor sentiment towards German equities. This could lead to a short-term decrease in EWG's price as investors adjust their expectations for the country's economic outlook.
