IMF’s latest commodity outlook

The IMF just released this commodity markets review as part of its World Economic Outlook. The review provides the outlook for energy, metals and food markets.

It also discusses:

  • the tight link between commodity prices and global demand;
  • impact of Chinese growth on base metals;
  • the supply-demand balance in oil markets;
  • the vulnerabilities of countries to food price shocks.

We hope you find the review useful. The review is a public document and can be cited without prior permission. Questions and comments can be sent to rescommodities@imf.org
