World Commodity and Food Crisis: Trends and Expectations
Fri, May 9 2008, 15:36 GMT
by Yelda Yücel
Surge in commodity prices is a recent phenomenon and could be pushing the global economy into a new inflation spiral. Currently, the problem seems to be receiving less attention than the financial crisis that stemmed from the sub-prime market in the US. Although discernibly impacted by channeling of recently increased liquidity into commodity markets in a speculative fashion, price increases reflect certain structural weaknesses in global economy and thus threaten global price stability. An absolute hunger risk in underdeveloped economies, as expressed by myriad high level bureaucrats, is a side issue that could receive more attention going forward. Expectations for price corrections are also mixed and differ according to the specific features of the commodity in question.
