The ECB considers a 3% euríbor until 2028 and inflation of up to 5.4% if the war worsens

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General10 September 2026 at 16:05

European Central Bank (ECB) president Christine Lagarde appeared this Thursday in Frankfurt with a pessimistic economic tone, dressed in black, to present the new projections and decisions of the European monetary institution.

The ECB decided to tighten financial conditions in the eurozone, raising the deposit rate to 2.50% due to the recent resurgence of inflation in the community region.

The institution also updated its economic projections until 2028, considering a scenario in which the euríbor remains at 3% until that date. Additionally, the ECB anticipates inflation that could reach 5.4% if the geopolitical conflict worsens.

These projections indicate that no immediate respite is expected for either mortgages or consumer prices in the eurozone in the short and medium term.

Old iPhone models see price hikes of up to R$ 2 thousand. Understand the reason

Old iPhone models had price adjustments of up to 14.8% at the Apple Store, with increases of up to R$ 2,000, even after the launch of a new generation. The 1 TB iPhone Air went from R$ 13,499 to R$ 15,499, while other versions of the model increased by R$ 500. The reason is the shortage of memory and storage chips caused by high demand from artificial intelligence data centers, which raised global price indices for smartphones, tablets, and notebooks. This year, Apple did not launch a new Air generation, postponing the update to early 2027.
