Current Commodities Inflation: +9% vs last year
March 2025
Historical average: | 2% |
This is calculated by taking the weighted average inflation of commodities used in energy, metals, agriculture (including livestock) and other industries, using weights that represent their share of the industrial economy. When commodity prices go up, it typically has a delayed effect on inflation (CPI) due to the time it takes for higher input costs to pass through the supply chain to consumer prices.
