The World Bank projects a 23% increase in overall commodity prices in 2026, followed by a 7% decline in 2027. Its forecast reflects supply disruption, higher energy costs, and pressure on agricultural markets. These are projections rather than realized annual outcomes, and the baseline assumes no major escalation of conflicts affecting supply.
Perspective
Commercial planning should distinguish forecasts from contracted prices and allow for alternative supply and cost scenarios.
