“Global Economy on Fire: Soaring Energy Prices, Prolonged War, but AI Keeps Markets Afloat”

 
Introduction
This week, the global economy continued to demonstrate remarkable resilience despite mounting pressures from the prolonged Middle East conflict, surging energy prices, and geopolitical uncertainties disrupting supply chains worldwide. On the other hand, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) investment cycle has emerged as a crucial driver, helping sustain growth and preventing a downturn.

 
Global Economic Overview
IMF projects 3.0% global GDP growth in 2026, despite ongoing conflict.
The world economy faces two-sided pressures:

Negative: soaring energy and commodity prices.
Positive: booming investments in AI and advanced technologies.
Major risk: global public debt nearing 100% of GDP, while disinflation efforts stall.
 
United States

PPI +0.4% MoM, driven by higher energy costs and electronic component prices (+3.4%).
Labor market remains strong: initial jobless claims at just 205,000.
Over 70% of investors expect Fed Chair Kevin Warsh to raise rates by 0.25%.
 
China
CPI +0.8% YoY.
PPI +3.8% YoY, reflecting persistent production cost pressures.
 
Europe

⚔️ Middle East Conflict
Conflict escalates into a “war of supply route disruption.”
