WTO reports slowdown in commodity trade
The World Trade Organization has warned of a potential slowdown in global merchandise trade growth, despite trade activity in the first half of 2026 showing resilience in the face of the repercussions of the Middle East war.

The report predicts that trade growth in 2026 will range between 1.4% and 1.9%, depending on the trajectory of energy prices and the ongoing conflict, with a potential impact from investment in artificial intelligence.
