The war is driving up not just energy prices but also markets for key agricultural inputs like fertilizers, because petrochemical products travel through the same routes affected by the conflict. This has contributed to higher food prices globally, adding inflationary pressure in both developed and developing economies.
Commodity markets have become more volatile as traders price in the risk of long‑term supply disruption, and countries dependent on energy and food imports face larger fiscal and balance‑of‑payments challenges. This combination of cost pressures and uncertainty can slow global demand and compress economic growth prospects.
