The World Bank has dropped a fresh economic alert: global commodity prices are projected to slide to their lowest level in six years by 2026. According to its latest Commodity Markets Outlook, this decline — driven by weak global growth, rising oil supply, and policy uncertainties — could help ease inflation but may hit commodity-dependent economies hard.
