Crude Oil and Inflation: Rising in StagesWTI CRUDE OILTVC:USOILkonhowWe have seen how the economy adapted to high oil prices following the 1973 oil embargo and from the start of the 'war on terror' in 2001 to the present day. To manage the next crises, where the crude oil may level up its median prices from $50, to maybe $100, the key is the add value in our craft and increase our productivity. When crude started to stay above $100, the world will initially feel the stress, but we are always capable to adapt. I will not be surprise to see, in time to come, even if the median price is at $100, it will be a new norm to most consumers. Why? Because real wage growth is uneven across different countries. Governments that recognize this will be relentless in cultivating and pursuing high-value jobs for their people. I always view that in every crisis, like the current Strait of Hormuz crisis, it is a catalyst to adjust the price upwards to where it supposed to be because of money printing, continuous money printing will only lead to inflation. Therefore, at the beginning of this video we discussed that even this current crisis is resolved, crude oil may not fall back to its median level at around $50.
