The global economic outlook remains fragile, with inflation finally slowing in most advanced economies, allowing for initial interest rate cuts. However, a solid recovery is not guaranteed, as consumer spending remains weak and investment is slowing.
Global supply chains are under a new period of stress due to more aggressive trade policies and geopolitical pressures. This has led to higher costs and longer lead times for companies reliant on imports, with the effective average tariff in the U.S. reaching its highest level since 1934.
Prices Climbing: The Scarcity Factor
Markets facing severe supply constraints, often due to climate or disease, are experiencing significant upward pressure:
Eggs: Prices in the EU and Italy are sharply rising due to an imbalance between demand and insufficient supply. Production is constrained by a high number of avian influenza outbreaks (351 since the start of the year).

Avocados: The global market is in a phase of severe tension. Supply is falling due to drought, wildfires, and security issues in Mexico, leading to a sharp drop in available volumes and a surge in wholesale prices.
Olive Oil: Italian extra virgin olive oil prices remain at record highs.
