The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

The European Central Bank raised its key deposit rate by 25 basis points to 2.5% at its Sept. 10 policy meeting, the second increase since June. Officials said inflation risks had risen as the war involving Iran drove energy prices higher, with Brent crude topping $105 a barrel and eurozone inflation at 3.3%, above the ECB’s 2% target. The ECB also signaled a weaker growth outlook as European bond yields reached multi-decade highs. The move focused attention on the Federal Reserve, with markets pricing a 64% to 70% chance of a U.S. rate increase next week.
