The European Central Bank has raised its interest rates by a quarter point to 2.5 percent, a move aimed at quelling inflation. The central bank issued a warning that price pressures in the eurozone will be longer lasting than anticipated.
The monetary tightening comes as the war involving Iran drives oil prices higher, pushing crude past $105 a barrel. This geopolitical conflict has exacerbated economic strain by fueling inflationary risks across Europe, leading to climbing borrowing costs.
