What happened
The European Central Bank raised interest rates from 2% to 2.25%, its first increase in nearly three years. The move came after market turmoil tied to the war in Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which drove up energy prices and eurozone inflation. Investors expect at least one more increase before the end of the year.
