THIS IS WHAT THE WAR WITH IRAN REALLY COSTS THE AVERAGE PERSON.

Since the war began on February 28, 2026, prices for every single commodity that drives the global economy have skyrocketed.

Sulfur: +97%

WTI Crude Oil: +60%

Jet Fuel: +58%

Heating Oil: +55%

European Natural Gas: +54%

Gasoline: +52%

Diesel: +50%

Brent Crude Oil: +50%

Cotton: +28%

Urea: +24%

Rice: +23%

Fertilizer: +20%

Palm Oil: +12%

Iron Ore: +12%

Coal: +11%

What most people don't yet notice is that the energy shock has already happened. The food shock is still to come.

Fertilizer prices have risen by 20%, and one-third of global fertilizer supplies pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Crops planted this season with less fertilizer will yield lower yields.

These lower yields will hit store shelves in late 2026 and 2027.

The commodity prices you see in this chart aren't the end of the story. They're the beginning of a second wave, which hasn't yet been priced in.
