The report shows that sanctions against Russia could have a significant impact on the global economy
The Wall Street Journal said that rising gasoline prices will push up the industry's production costs and increase inflationary pressures in the United States.
With the tensions of the war between Ukraine and Russia, global commodity prices have continued to soar, including wheat has risen to a new 14-year high, corn prices have soared by 17% in a month, and international oil prices are approaching a new high of $120 per barrel. With Russia and Ukraine together accounting for 29 percent of global wheat exports and 19 percent of total corn exports, the war continues to strike a deep blow to global oil and food prices.
A recent report by the Netherlands International Group (ING) found that sanctions against Russia could have a significant impact on the global economy. Soaring oil and gas prices have contributed to higher natural gas prices in the United States. In addition, Russia's status as a major mining power could exacerbate shortages of important metals in global supply chains. Globally, a surge in commodity prices will exacerbate existing inflationary pressures.
