What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The World Bank Group projects global commodity prices will rise 23% in 2026, with energy prices expected to surge 32%. This forecast is driven by the conflict in the Middle East disrupting oil and grain shipments, alongside weather risks threatening agricultural production. Brent crude prices are forecast to average USD 91 per barrel in 2026.

Why it matters

Higher energy costs and trade disruptions could worsen inflation, food insecurity, and economic growth globally. Global oil supply is projected to fall 5.2% in 2026, while consumption is expected to contract 2.5% due to high prices and the impact of electrification, particularly in China.
