Recent geopolitical tensions, particularly the ongoing Middle East conflict involving Iran, have driven sharp rises in energy prices and pushed euro area inflation forecasts higher, prompting the ECB to hike its key rates by 25 basis points in June 2026—the first increase since 2023. Updated staff projections now show headline inflation averaging 2.6–3.0% for 2026, with core measures also elevated due to energy pass-through effects. Economists in recent polls largely anticipate steady or higher rates through year-end rather than easing, as the Governing Council emphasizes data dependence and its 2% target mandate without pre-committing to any path. Market pricing reflects this hawkish shift, reducing the likelihood of cuts amid persistent upside inflation risks.
