Lets act!" And they will indeed act, meaning they will raise interest rates on June 11th. Since the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq war, several other central banks, such as the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Norwegian central bank, have tightened monetary policy. But the ECB will be the first G7 central bank to do so. The ECB previously stated that the Eurozones inflation rate and monetary policy were "in good shape," but now the situation is quite different. Concerns about the duration of the Iran-Iraq war and the sustainability of a potential peace agreement, and how these factors will affect inflation expectations and wage demand, are prompting the ECB to shift towards a tighter policy. Eurozone inflation has not eased since the last meeting. Adding to the woes, the risk of economic stagnation is increasing. The ECB must proceed cautiously, but the risk of further rate hikes remains, potentially as early as July.

Parts Scarcity Forces Ford and GM to Shut Down Two Michigan Factories

Ford, the United States' No. 2 manufacturer, announced it will halt production at its Flat Rock Assembly Plant, where the Mustang is built, next week due to a worldwide semiconductor shortage.


GM said that it will halt production at its Lansing Grand River assembly plant next week due to a temporary component shortage. The plant produces the Cadillac CT4, Cadillac CT5, and Chevrolet Camaro. GM said that the manufacturing pause was not connected to chips but did not give any details.


The automotive sector is now battling a worldwide chip scarcity caused by the COVID-19 epidemic, which has forced firms to reduce output, while high vehicle prices have largely offset the financial effect.


Ford warned last month that the chip shortfall would result in a reduction in current-quarter car sales. Ford paused production at its Kansas City assembly plant, which produces F-150 pickup trucks, for a week last month owing to a chip shortage.


Ford Motor Company, located in Dearborn, Michigan, said that manufacturing at its other North American factories would continue as usual.


GM said last week that it will cease production at a Fort Wayne, Indiana, assembly facility that makes the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 pickup trucks for two weeks starting April 4 due to a semiconductor chip shortage.
