European Central Bank Raises Rates for First Time Since 2023 as Iran War Drives Up Prices

The European Central Bank raised its key interest rates by 0.25 percentage points on June 11, 2026, its first rate increase since 2023, as the U.S.-Iran war pushed energy costs sharply higher and drove euro area inflation to 3.2 percent. The deposit facility rate now stands at 2.25 percent, with markets pricing in a roughly 60 percent chance of at least one more hike by year-end. European stock markets welcomed the decision as a sign that the ECB was ready to act decisively against rising prices.
