October Euribor Rises to 2.187%, Nudging Semi-Annual Mortgage Bills Higher

ECB rate stability at 2% keeps expectations for Euribor near 2.2% into early 2026.

Overview

  • The 12‑month Euribor closed October with a 2.187% average, marking a third straight monthly increase.
  • Since July, the index has climbed about 0.108 percentage points, and it topped 2.2% on eight trading days in October.
  • The ECB left its deposit rate at 2% for a fourth month, a stance analysts say is anchoring the index near current levels.
  • Mortgages with semi‑annual revisions using October now see small payment increases, typically around €5–€12 a month for common loan sizes.
  • Year‑on‑year, the index is still about 0.5 points below October 2024 (2.691%), so many annual reviews continue to lower monthly payments.
