Spain's Euribor hits 2.86% in July 2026, highest since September 2024
The Euribor, Spain’s benchmark inter‑bank rate, closed July 2026 at 2.855 % – a provisional figure that marks the highest level since September 2024 (2.94 %). The index rose by six basis points from June and is 77 basis points above its July 2025 level of 2.079 %.
For borrowers with variable‑rate mortgages, the jump translates into a noticeable cost increase. A €150,000, 30‑year loan with a 0.99 % spread would see the monthly payment rise by roughly €64.78 (about €777 per year). Financial commentators link the upward pressure to the ongoing United States‑Iran conflict, describing it as a structural factor that could keep rates elevated. Analysts also note that the Euribor is edging toward the 3 % mark, which may prompt the European Central Bank to tighten monetary policy in the autumn. The data remain provisional pending confirmation by the Banco de España.
