Oil prices, inevitable inflation shock? for TVC:USOIL by Swissquote Geopolitical events in the Middle East have revived fears of a new wave of inflation, even though inflation rates have been significantly reduced by the actions of central banks since 2022. With every new phase of geopolitical conflict, pessimists predict oil surging to $200 with an immediate and direct impact on inflation rates. Fortunately, the situation is more complex than that, and it is important to remember that inflation is not equal to the combined price of oil and gas—far from …
