How the ECB Rate Hike Echoes Across US Markets

The European Central Bank raised interest rates for the first time since 2023 on June 11, 2026, a direct response to surging energy costs linked to the Iran conflict. Lucas and Luna break down why this matters for US markets, from the Treasury yield curve to the dollar and Fed policy. They examine how the ECB's 25-basis-point hike, combined with hotter-than-expected US wholesale prices, is reshaping investor expectations for the Federal Reserve's next move. With the fed funds rate at 3.63% and core inflation sticky, the hosts explore whether the US can remain insulated from global tightening. An essential listen for anyone tracking the interconnected world of central banking, currency markets, and bond yields. #ECB #InterestRates #FederalReserve #Inflation #TreasuryYields #Dollar #CoreCPI #WholesalePrices #PPI #IranConflict #EnergyCosts #BondMarket #MonetaryPolicy #USTreasury #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CurrencyWar Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
