Our assessment
The research reading is "did not happen", filed against this claim's own candidate. Independent sources: 3, after collapsing same-owner, same-wire and same-host duplicates. The deadline was 2026-08-31 and has passed as of 2026-09-01. Researcher's summary: Judged to the stated 30 April 2025 deadline none of the three legs landed: Brent averaged $68.13 a barrel in April 2025 against $79.27 in January, US annual CPI slowed to 2.3% in April 2025, the smallest 12-month rise since February 2021, and the FAO Food Price Index at 128.3 was up only 7.6% year on year with cereal stocks in what FAO called a comfortable buffer zone. Note the row's published_at of 11 July 2026 falls after its own resolve-by date, so the deadline should be checked before this goes on the record. PROPOSED, NOT DECIDED. Check the sources answer this claim AS WORDED and for the right period before accepting. That is the check no rule here can make, and it is what all seven withdrawn drafts of 3 August failed.
