Six and 12-month Euribor rates hit highs after ECB rate hike

Diário de Coimbra14 September 2026 at 21:00

Six and 12-month Euribor rates hit maximum values after the European Central Bank's decision to raise interest rates. This movement reflects the direct impact of the restrictive monetary policies adopted by the ECB on the eurozone economy.

The Euribor is calculated as the average of the rates at which a group of 21 banks in the eurozone is willing to lend money to each other in the interbank market. This indicator serves as a reference for numerous financial products, including mortgages and bank loans.

Why this matters

Portuguese families with mortgages indexed to the Euribor directly feel the impact of these increases on their monthly payments, which have been rising significantly. This article is relevant for anyone who has or intends to take out loans, as it indicates the continuation of the trend of increasing the cost of credit in the eurozone.

Companies accelerate transformation, but only 14% stand out and achieve large-scale results

A global KPMG study reveals that, although companies are accelerating their transformation processes, only 14% stand out as leaders compared to their peers and less than a third achieve results at scale across the organization. Each company manages an average of 3.5 transformation programs simultaneously, with digital transformation leading in 70% of cases. The main challenge is no longer launching new initiatives but coordinating them, requiring alignment of investments in technology, people and processes toward the same objectives. Regarding artificial intelligence, 48% of organizations report incremental productivity gains, but only 11% report substantial impact at enterprise scale, and only 19% consider their employees highly prepared to work with AI.

In testing phase, BRT and VLT begin accepting cards in Rio de Janeiro; credit has a fee

The Gentileza Terminal, in the Central Region of Rio de Janeiro, began testing the payment of BRT and VLT fares with credit and debit cards directly at the turnstiles. The City Hall regulated the measure this Monday, defining rules for the future expansion of the service. On debit, the passenger pays the normal fare value; on credit, there is an additional charge of up to 30 cents per trip to cover operational costs. CBN reached out to the City Hall to clarify whether this charge conflicts with a 2022 municipal law that determines that the fare value with card must correspond to the current price.

Wall Street closes in negative territory after calls to halt AI development

The US stock market ended in negative territory on Monday, pressured by calls from artificial intelligence industry leaders for a slowdown in technology development. The S&P 500 fell 0.48%, the Dow Jones retreated 0.29% and the Nasdaq dropped 0.56%. Chip companies were particularly affected, with Nvidia losing 3.39% and Intel falling 5.61%. A letter from Anthropic's CEO, backed by OpenAI and Elon Musk's xAI, argued for the need to halt the most advanced AI systems to avoid catastrophic harm, while Donald Trump rejected any curb, describing it as a "sick conspiracy". Microsoft rose 1.97% after publishing a code of conduct limiting its AI models. The yield on US ten-year debt surpassed the 5% threshold for the first time since 2007, amid rising oil prices fueling inflation concerns.
