Oil prices are set to dip further in 2026. The World Bank just cut its crude forecast to $60 per barrel next year—down from $69 this year. Why? Trade tensions and weakening global demand are the culprits. With tariffs and geopolitical friction cooling economic growth, less industrial activity means less crude consumption. This matters for crypto: lower energy costs could ease mining profitability concerns, while falling commodity prices often correlate with shifts in macro risk sentiment. Worth tracking for portfolio strategy.

Oil prices drop to 60? Mining costs have decreased, but can it really break even?

According to the macroeconomic forecast data from the World Bank, the decline in oil prices will indeed have a direct impact on the cost structure for miners. However, there is an economic assumption worth questioning—why do we assume that lower energy costs necessarily improve mining profitability? Are we ignoring the reality when token prices decline?

Oil prices drop to $60? Mining costs have come down, but can macro sentiment improve... That's the real issue.
