The Middle East oil and gas crunch will impose as much as a trillion dollars of additional costs on the global economy while petroleum companies rake in spectacular profits from elevated fuel prices, analysis has revealed. The uneven distribution of risk and reward comes amid rising concern that the US-Israeli attack on Iran is worsening inequality, poverty, and hunger across a world that has become dangerously dependent on fossil fuels. Even if the Strait of Hormuz swiftly returns to normal operations, the burden of elevated oil and gas prices will reach about US$ 600 billion, according to recent International Monetary Fund figures analyzed by the climate campaign organization 350.org. Should the supply disruption continue, the economic hit to households, businesses, and governments could surge above US$ 1 trillion, it said.

A Purdue University (USA) agricultural economist said the longer the flow of fertilizers is disrupted through the Strait of Hormuz, the greater the impact on Brazilian agriculture. During a recent webinar hosted by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), Joana Colussi said Brazil imports nearly all of its urea needs, of which 40% of the global market moves through the Strait. “Local urea prices in Brazil jumped about 35%," she said. The country also imports about 75% of its phosphate needs. “Fertilizers as a whole matter more to Brazil’s cost structure than they do, for example, in the U.S.," she said. “Farmers in Brazil depend heavily on fertilizers to keep soils productive and sustain yields,” she continued.

As compiled by Poder360 with data from the Brazil-China Business Council (CEBC), crude oil became the main driver of Brazilian exports at the beginning of 2026. Furthermore, the volume exported to China more than doubled from 7.4 thousand tons to 16.5 thousand tons, an increase of 122%. In addition, China absorbed 57% of all oil exported by Brazil in the quarter, with a peak of 65% in March. The war in Iran disrupted the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz. Consequently, China — the world’s largest oil importer — needed to seek suppliers outside the conflict zone. Brazil emerged as the most reliable alternative. According to economist Cristiane Alkmin, interviewed by InfoMoney, “Brazil emerges as the big winner of the geopolitical rearrangement” caused by the instability in Hormuz.

I Squared Capital (“I Squared”), a leading independent global infrastructure investment manager, on Tuesday (April 28) announced that it has agreed to acquire Elea Data Centers (“Elea”), one of the largest carrier-neutral data center platforms in Brazil. Elea operates a nationwide network of nine interconnected data center campuses across Brazil, including São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Brasília, serving a diversified base of enterprise and hyperscale customers, with over 300 MWs of powered land and over 1GW currently in development that will require more than US$ 10 billion of capital to support its delivery. I Squared’s investment will support Elea’s planned expansion program and accelerate the development of large-scale, high-density AI infrastructure across Brazil. Brazil is the largest data center market in Latin America and a rapidly emerging global hub for digital infrastructure.
