WTO Signals Global Trade Slowing
The World Trade Organization stated that signs of slowdown in global trade in goods have begun to appear, despite the resilience it showed in the first half of 2026, even amid disruptions caused by the conflict in the Middle East. The organization’s report indicates that trade volume remains higher than usual, but the growth index has decreased to 101.7 from 102.3 in January, signaling the start of a slowdown. The report expects this deceleration to continue in the coming months, especially with the ongoing war and its impact on energy prices and global shipping.
