Nightmare of inflation? The relationship between oil prices and CPI & PPI

Historically, there is often a sequential relationship between rising oil prices and high inflation, but is there a causal relationship between them? Inflation devalues the currency, leading to higher prices for consumer goods and services, while the rising cost of living in turn affects individual optional consumer spending and economic growth. Recently, oil prices have risen rapidly, and the market is once again worried about the U.S. inflation rate picking up.Historical data showed a correlation between rising oil prices and inflation. But there is evidence that the link between oil prices and inflation began to break decades ago. Bob Iaccino, co-founder of Path Trading Partners, said the relationship weakened after oil prices soared in the 1970s.图片How does the oil price affect the macr

Chart Of The Day - Crude Oil Price

ImageWTI crude oil has notched up a substantial 30%+ rally off the lows, and is now pushing up against a key resistance level (around ~$90/bbl), which if breached will open up the path above $100. Interestingly this rally has come with declining volatility (an orderly move).Aside from the failed breakdown below a key long-term support level, WTI crude has also notched up a golden cross (50-day moving average crossing above the 200-day), and has busted comfortably through multiple short-term resistance levels.While the technicals look good, the fundamentals are also decent with world oil demand breaking out to new post-covid highs, and supply growth constrained by multiple factors.The steady move lower in crude oil implied volatility shows there is an air of certainty around the rally in oi

Will crude oil breaks through as rate hikes come to an end?

The fundamentals of the oil market remains mixed, and there doesn't seem to be a strong one-sided trend. The recent rise in crude oil prices can be explained as a fluctuation from the low levels.Why did crude oil experience a bottom bounce?This is because low oil prices were stimulated by three major factors, leading to consecutive two weeks of price increases and breaking through the long-term downtrend and the MA 200 (moving average 200).OPEC+ continued production cuts.The rate hike is coming to an end after July FOMC.An important meeting in China that opened up possibilities for future economic growth.During the June OPEC+ meeting, Saudi Arabia voluntarily cut an additional 1 million barrels per day, which was a rare and significant reduction, the largest in years.

Mainly cpi is determined by fuel price $Micro WTI Crude Oil - main 2306(MCLmain)$  Oil prices have long been considered a leading indicator of inflation. When oil prices rise, it leads to an increase in the cost of goods and services, which in turn leads to a rise in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The CPI measures the average change in prices paid by consumers for a basket of goods and services. Therefore, if oil prices continue to increase, it will eventually result in higher inflation. Inflation is a major concern for central banks around the world, including the Federal Reserve (Fed). The Fed uses a variety of tools to manage inflation, including adjusting interest rates. The Fed raises interest rates when it believes that inflation

Will there be excess natural gas capacity?

NattyWe need hot summer or natty below $1 is possible.I am now publishing end-of-season projected natgas storage levels for EUROPE. I currently project a 4195 BCF maximum, +773 BCF above the 5-year avg or an alarming 109% of capacity. Either consumption increases or imports of LNG will need to fall to avoid exceeding capacity.This year's total product supplied for the month of January was not good compared to previous Januarys'. However, it should get better as we move deeper into the year.
