  "summary": "The European Central Bank (ECB) has raised interest rates by 25 basis points, aiming to combat rising inflation driven by energy costs resulting from the conflict between the US and Iran. This is the second rate increase for the ECB this year, as inflation surpassed the 2% target in the 21-country eurozone, reaching 3% and expected to average 3.0% this year and 2.5% in 2027. The conflict's impact on energy costs and concerns over gas storage levels contribute to persistent inflation, with experts warning that the ECB may need to raise rates more aggressively to address the issue.",
