Low refined stocks threaten stagflation. Will they pressure the ECB?

The ECB raised interest rates by 25 basis points again, in a context where inflation in the eurozone reached 3.3% in August, with about 40% resulting directly from the energy component. The combination of refining capacity scarcity, reduced Russian and Middle Eastern exports, and low stocks raised refining margins to historically high levels, especially for diesel. The approach of winter will force stock replenishment in an already very tight market, which could intensify price transmission and prolong the energy shock until 2026. Christine Lagarde avoided committing to further hikes, but warned that the need to rebuild stocks could force the ECB to raise interest rates again, even in the face of a weak economy, increasing the risk of stagflation in the eurozone.

Can Europe survive without protectionism?

A Citi study reveals that the European Union faces a growing trade challenge, with a deficit of 361 billion euros against China in 2025, squeezed between American protectionism and Chinese industrial capacity. The article argues that Europe cannot continue operating under rules that its competitors no longer follow, but warns that strategic protection must be complemented by a genuine competitiveness policy, since tariffs do not replace the need to reduce structural costs. For Portugal, the paradigm shift may represent an opportunity to attract industrial investment, although improvements in infrastructure, qualifications and execution capacity are needed to realize this potential.

Inflation

The ECB raised interest rates again to 2.5%, with the market expecting them to stabilize at 3.25% by June next year, which will impact housing credit costs and the cost of living. Inflation, currently at 3.3%, is expected to continue rising due to conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, which influence energy prices. Gas prices in Europe have already risen 170% since the beginning of the conflict, and could quintuple in a harsh winter. The article also warns that deposit returns do not keep up with inflation, harming 80% of national GDP invested in savings. The ECB President reiterated the need for Europeans to invest in capital markets and increase financial literacy to beat inflation and finance the economy.
