What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

HSBC's global chief economist, Janet Henry, stated that Middle East escalation is fueling global inflation pressures that are expected to persist into 2027. This concern is driven by high energy prices, as crude oil prices remain above US$100 a barrel, reaching a six-month high of more than $117 last week. Economists surveyed by Reuters raised 2027 inflation forecasts for 31 of 50 economies.
