ECB Expected to Raise Rates Amid Rising Inflation and Energy Price Concerns
The European Central Bank (ECB) is widely expected to raise interest rates to 2.50% amid rising inflation driven by surging energy prices linked to the ongoing US-Iran conflict. Brent crude oil prices have surpassed $100 a barrel, intensifying inflation concerns and prompting markets to anticipate further ECB tightening. European shares showed modest gains following a recent decline, as investors awaited ECB President Christine Lagarde's comments on inflation. The euro held steady against the dollar ahead of the ECB policy meeting, with futures nearing key levels amid market caution.
