What happened, for context

Eurozone inflation reached 3.3% in August 2026, the highest level in three years, driven primarily by energy price increases to 14.3% following geopolitical tensions involving Iran and disruption to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The figure exceeded the European Central Bank's 2% target and was in line with analyst forecasts. The ECB is expected to raise interest rates at its September 10 meeting.
