China & WorldFBI Declares Michigan Synagogue Attack Was Hezbollah-Inspired Act of Terrorism
The FBI announced on March 30, 2026 that the attack on a synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan on March 12 was a Hezbollah-inspired act of terrorism carried out by Lebanese-American Ayman Ghazali.
The European Central Bank announced on March 19, 2026 that it is maintaining three key interest rates unchanged, with the deposit facility rate held at 2.00%. Middle East warfare has caused energy prices to surge sharply, suddenly worsening the Eurozone's inflation outlook and making monetary policy increasingly complex.
The ECB revised its 2026 inflation forecast upward to 2.6%, approximately 0.5 percentage points higher than December's forecast. Governor Christine Lagarde stated at a press conference that the high degree of uncertainty brought by war poses upward risks to inflation, while simultaneously creating downward pressure on economic growth.
The Eurozone's March business activity declined to an 11-month low, with major institutions downwardly revising regional economic growth forecasts. The ECB reiterated it will assess monetary policy stance meeting-by-meeting based on data, flexibly responding to situation developments. Some analysts noted that if energy prices remain elevated long-term, the ECB may be forced to consider rate increases again later this year.
