European Central Bank Raises Interest Rates Amid Inflation Pressures from Iran Conflict
The European Central Bank raised interest rates by 25 basis points to 2.5% amid rising inflation driven by higher energy prices linked to the ongoing Iran conflict. The ECB projects inflation will remain above its 2% target through 2028, citing stronger-than-expected economic resilience. Market expectations include further rate hikes, with some policymakers divided on the pace. Elevated oil prices above $100 per barrel and energy supply concerns continue to pressure inflation and bond markets across Europe.
