# The Undercurrents of the Global Economy Behind the Soaring Oil Prices

#### **Analysis of Crude Oil Price Volatility and Its Impact on the Global Economy**

#### **1\. Characteristics of Crude Oil Price Volatility**

**Historic Volatility**: Since the launch of crude oil futures in 1983, the recent period has seen the largest single-day price swings on record, indicating extreme market volatility.

**Market Misleading Nature**: Price surges often mislead investors, but in reality, they have a broad negative impact on the global economy, especially on energy-dependent industries.

#### **2\. Key Influencing Factors**

**Policy Intervention**:

G7 nations have released strategic petroleum reserves to stabilize the market.

U.S. President Donald Trump ("Trump") frequently adjusted policies under market pressure, such as backing down during tariff wars.

**Economic Interconnectedness**:

U.S. stock market fluctuations directly affect U.S. consumption (the top 10% of the population contributes 50% of consumption), which in turn impacts the global economy.

Capital market turbulence transmits to the real economy through the wealth effect.

#### **3\. Special Nature of the Current Situation**

**Differences in Geopolitical Conflict**:

Unlike historical trade wars, the current Middle East conflict involves parties with no shared interests (e.g., Persian Gulf states), making policy coordination more difficult.

The control of key energy chokepoints (e.g., straits) is not in U.S. hands, increasing the complexity of the situation.

**Position in the Economic Cycle**:

**April 2023**: The global economy was in the early stages of stagflation, relatively stable.

**Current**: Economic cracks are appearing (e.g., weakening U.S. non-farm payroll data), compounded by the energy crisis, leading to significant fragility.

#### **4\. Historical Comparison and Risk Warning**

**Precedents of Oil Crises**:

**1973**: The oil embargo caused prices to soar from $3 to $12 per barrel, U.S. GDP fell by 3%, triggering stagflation.

**1979**: The second crisis pushed oil prices up again, exacerbating the economic recession.

**2008**: Oil prices reaching $147 per barrel triggered the financial crisis.

**Current Risks**:

Rising oil prices increase costs across industrial chains like chemicals, plastics, and food, intensifying inflationary pressures.

Demand Destruction effects may trigger a shift in the economy from stagflation to recession.

#### **5\. Core Conclusions**

**Short-term Impact**: Energy price volatility will continue to impact fragile economies, with limited room for policy intervention.

**Long-term Trend**: If oil prices spiral out of control, a "boom and bust" cycle could re-emerge, leading to a paradigm shift in the economy towards deflation or recession.
