ECB Chief Lagarde Resigns

European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde has stepped down early from her role, citing her inability to remain neutral on global events, per Reuters.

Lagarde's departure follows growing tensions within the ECB over monetary policy and geopolitical concerns, Bloomberg reports.

Flight EWG6824 is climbing out of Berlin at 5,175 ft, heading northeast, as the city remains a hub for European political discourse.

The resignation has sparked speculation about the future leadership of the ECB, with several candidates being considered by EU officials.
