World Bank Projects 23% Rise in Global Commodity Prices in 2026 Amid Supply Disruptions
The World Bank projects global commodity prices to rise 23% in 2026, driven by a 32% increase in energy prices due to Middle East conflicts and supply disruptions. Oil supply is expected to fall 5.2%, the largest drop in over four decades outside the 2020 recession, while consumption is forecast to decline 2.5%. Food prices may increase about 10% amid disrupted grain shipments, El Niño risks, and rising farm costs. Prices are expected to ease in 2027, with overall commodity prices falling 7%. The World Bank highlights risks to inflation, food security, and economic growth.
