According to CoinMeta, CaiTou Macro indicates that the year-on-year increase in global inflation has risen from 2.6% in January to 3.6% in August, and the situation is expected to further deteriorate. This bleak outlook is mainly driven by high energy prices. CaiTou Macro predicts that Brent crude oil prices will remain around $100 per barrel before the beginning of 2027, which will drive up fuel inflation. Rising natural gas prices will also increase household energy inflation in most developed economies. Overall, these pressures could push global inflation above 4% by the beginning of 2027.
