  • European Markets Decline as ECB Prepares Interest Rate Decision Amid Energy Price Surge
    March 19, 2026, 10:36 AM EDT. European equity markets opened lower with FTSE 100, CAC 40, and DAX down between 1.3% and 1.5%, pressured by rising European natural gas prices hitting a three-year high above €68 per megawatt hour due to Iranian missile strikes on Middle East energy infrastructure. Oil prices climbed sharply, with WTI and Brent crude surpassing $96 and $114 respectively. The European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to hold interest rates steady, focusing investor attention on ECB President Christine Lagarde's guidance amid inflation near the 2% target. The Bank of England is also likely to pause rate hikes at 3.75%, reflecting concerns about persistent high energy costs. Asian markets fell broadly, led by Japan's Nikkei dropping 3.4%, following the Bank of Japan's rate hold amidst geopolitical tensions. Investors remain cautious as global energy and geopolitical risks threaten inflation and growth outlooks.
