Oil prices will no longer be short-term fluctuations but a structural rise.Once oil prices stabilize above $100, or even hit $150, the problem isn't just inflation, but the entire economic system beginning to lose balance.The essence of oil prices is the underlying variable of all costs.Transportation, manufacturing, agriculture, supply chains—no single link can avoid it.When energy costs are locked in at high levels:Corporate profits will be squeezedConsumer purchasing power will be erodedCentral banks are forced to maintain high interest ratesThis enters a very dangerous combination:👉 High inflation + Low growth + High interest ratesThat is the typical "stagflation structure."More critically, this environment is extremely unfriendly to asset prices.Over the past decade or more, the core driver of rising global assets has been low interest rates + ample liquidity.But if persistently high oil prices push up inflation, central banks will have no room to cut rates, and liquidity cannot be released:👉 Stock market valuations are suppressed👉 Real estate financing tightens👉 Highly leveraged assets are the first to encounter problemsThis is the beginning of the "chain reaction."Many people underestimate one point—An oil price shock is not a one-time event, but a "continuous bloodletting."It's not like a financial crisis that crashes instantly, but rather slowly consumes the economy's capacity to bear it.Companies may not collapse immediately, but profits keep decliningHouseholds may not go bankrupt right away, but consumption keeps contractingWhat ultimately forms is an environment that "looks like it hasn't crashed, but is getting worse."This is also why Larry Fink emphasizes a "multi-year dimension," not short-term volatility.Of course, there is a key variable here:👉 Whether geopolitical risks truly translate into supply disruptionsIf it's just a "threat," oil prices will fluctuateBut if it actually affects transportation or production capacity, prices will be locked inThese two are completely different paths.What I care more about isn't whether oil prices will reach $150, but whether the market has begun to reprice this risk.Once the capital market starts accepting the premise of "persistently high oil prices":The entire asset pricing system needs to be rewritten.Do you lean more towards this being a short-term geopolitical fluctuation, or an ongoing long-term structural change?" datetime: "2026-03-27T06:08:50.000Z" locales: - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/topics/39569539.md) - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/topics/39569539.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/topics/39569539.md) author: "[辰逸](https://longbridge.com/en/profiles/16318663.md)" --- > Supported Languages: [简体中文](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/topics/39569539.md) | [繁體中文](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/topics/39569539.md) # 🔥Larry Fink directly presents the most extreme sc… ### Related Stocks - [BlackRock, Inc.
