The European Central Bank refrained from raising interest rates Thursday, but confirmed plans for a hike next month to fight inflation.

The bank announced it will raise borrowing costs by 25 basis points in July - its first rate hike in more than a decade - and said a larger increase could follow in September "if the medium-term inflation outlook persists or worsens."

"Inflation is undesirably high and is expected to remain above our target level for some time," ECB President Christine Lagarde said at a press conference.

Consumer prices in the U.S. increased in May as gasoline prices reached record highs and the cost of services continued to rise. This suggests that the Federal Reserve may continue its 50 basis point rate hikes through September to combat inflation.

The consumer price index rose 1.0% last month after rising 0.3% in April, the Labor Department said on Friday. Economists polled by Reuters had expected a 0.7% monthly increase in the CPI. Gasoline prices skyrocketed in May, averaging $4.37 per gallon, according to AAA data.

With their days-long strike over high fuel prices, South Korean truck drivers have added to the strain on the world's already strained supply systems. At the port of Busan - which handles 80 percent of the export nation's shipping cargo - container traffic dropped to a third of normal levels Friday.

For the fourth straight day of strikes, it was just 20% at Incheon, while container traffic came to a complete halt at the port of Ulsan, the country's industrial heartland. Production at Hyundai's main plant had already been curtailed, and other companies, including steel giant Posco, had complained of delivery delays.

Germany stashes second-largest gold hoard

More than two-thirds of Germany's foreign reserves are stored in the form of gold bullion. About half of the total of 3,378 tons is stored in the cellars of the Bundesbank in Frankfurt, the rest in the treasuries of the central banks of London and New York. Incidentally, only the U.S. gold reserve is heavier. It weighs more than 8,000 tons.
