06:31 PM EDT, 10/16/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Rising energy and fertilizer costs are driving up agricultural production expenses and food prices, raising concerns about a global food crisis, AFP reported Friday. Global agricultural prices rose 13% in Q3, according to the International Fund for Agricultural Development. Smallholder farmers, who account for one-third of global food production, are particularly vulnerable to higher fertilizer and fuel costs, IFAD said. G7 nations pledged $2.5 billion to help countries at risk of food insecurity, with a focus on fertilizers.

Goldman Sachs Volatility Panic Index surged to 9.57, approaching its maximum value, with the largest single-day increase ranking third in history, and the combined two-day volatility setting a new record. Historical data shows that after this index has exceeded the 9.5 threshold 15 times, the S&P 500 has seen an average three-month gain of 4.6% with a success rate of 80%. However, Goldman Sachs traders warn that forced liquidations have not yet fully cleared, and the market is still searching for a bottom, but opportunities on the other side are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.
