Why the ECB Just Hiked Rates for the First Time Since 2023

from The Global Economy Podcast with Fexingo: International Markets, Currencies, and World Trade · host Fexingo

The European Central Bank raised interest rates on June 11, 2026, its first hike since 2023, as the Iran conflict drives energy costs and inflation. Lucas and Luna break down why the ECB acted now, how the eurozone economy is diverging from the US, and what the 1.1% wholesale price jump in the US means for global inflation. They also explore the impact on emerging markets like Brazil and India, using the latest ETF flows as a barometer. With the yen at 160 per dollar and the trade-weighted dollar index at 120, this episode explains the shifting dynamics in currency markets and what the ECB's move signals for the rest of 2026. #ECB #InterestRates #Inflation #Eurozone #EnergyPrices #IranConflict #CentralBanks #GlobalTrade #USWholesalePrices #EmergingMarkets #ETFs #CurrencyMarkets #DollarIndex #Yen #Brazil #India #FexingoBusiness #Economics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
