Commodity price increases
Charlie Bilello's bar chart drew 56.5K views on X: 1.0x its typical post and #16 of 25 Charlie Bilello charts we track by views. Read Oct 14, 2026.
Since the start of the Iran war...
Why it spread
This post spread because it paired a hot topic that week with a simple bar chart of price increases since the start of the Iran war, and it drew 12,121 views, 74 likes, 26 reposts, 7 quotes, and 17 saves, with a quote rate in the top quarter and source reach in the top quarter.
What worked
- The post text lists eight commodities with clear percentage gains, from European Natural Gas at +163% down to Gasoline at +46%, so the scale of the shock is readable at a glance.
- The framing ties every number to one event, the start of the Iran war, which makes the chart feel timely and gives readers a single cause to react to.
- The account is branded and the topic is markets, so the post fits what the audience already expects, and the many quotes show people used it as a talking point.
What to borrow
We could take one live event and show our own data as a ranked list of changes since that event, using plain labels and a single headline line that states the shock is building.
Careful
Do not copy the low design polish, the low self labelling, or the missing source line, and do not read the 74 likes or 26 reposts as proof of lasting demand, since the main reasons given are many quotes and a hot topic that week.
