THEAMERICANCONSERVATIVE (Joseph Addington) - ECB Holds Rates Steady
State of the Union: The Iran War continues to drive higher energy prices and broader inflation. The post ECB Holds Rates Steady appeared first on The American Conservative .
The European Central Bank (ECB) left interest rates unchanged at its meeting Thursday, citing the effects of the Iran War on energy markets.
