🇪🇺 ECB Raises Rates Again


The European Central Bank has raised its key interest rates by 25 basis points, marking its second rate hike of 2026.
The move comes as energy prices and oil costs continue to put pressure on inflation. Eurozone inflation is now expected to remain elevated, keeping monetary policy under pressure.
Markets are also pricing in the possibility of another rate hike later this year, although the exact probability remains market-dependent.
Higher rates could mean tighter financial conditions across Europe, with potential implications for equities, the euro and broader risk assets.
The key question now: how long will the ECB need to keep tightening?

A 25 bp hike looks mild, but if there is another hike this year, liquidity in European equities could become a concern. The euro may strengthen in the short term, but how long can high interest rates hold?

Energy prices are not coming down, leaving the ECB with no choice but to tough it out. But with corporate loan and mortgage costs soaring, can the real economy afford it?
