They tend to perform well when oil prices increase. However, oil price movements tend to be a short-term response.\nIf this sounds familiar, it should. Markets have gone through this cycle several times, and it is astonishing to see how consistent the pattern is.\nLet's take, for example, the 2008 financial crisis. Oil prices rose to new records, surpassing $140 per barrel, driven by strong demand, tight supply, and a surge in commodity prices. However, the party was short-lived. As the global economy disintegrated, oil prices tumbled by around 70% in a matter of months.\nA similar story was repeated in 2014, but the reasons were vastly different.\nOil prices rose sharply in June 2014 due to escalating tensions in Iraq, which led to a fear of supply disruptions. At the same time, oil production was halted in Libya, and strong demand was coming from the U.S. and China, leading to a surge in oil prices.\nIn 2022, once again, the price increased with the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. The prices increased due to the fear of a supply shock, but with the tightening of the monetary policy and the slowdown in the economy, the prices fell again from the highs.\nIn each case, the causes for the price movement were different—excessive financial leverage in 2008, a glut in the market in 2014, and the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in 2022. But the effect of the price movement was similar—a sharp move followed by a price reversal.\nThus, the current price rally due to geopolitical tensions may not be the only factor for the price movement. The real story for ETF investors is not that the price increases but that the subsequent price movement is the key to the opportunities that lie ahead.\nNonetheless, if prices stay high, the ripples will be felt across the rest of the market.\nAt the same time, inflation protection will be key. For example, the iShares TIPS Bond ETF (NYSE:TIP) will gain traction as investors hedge their bets on inflation.\nThe real turning point, however, will not be driven by the price of oil, but rather by the response from the Federal Reserve.\nIf inflation is still a concern, and the Fed is hawkish, then real assets and value will be the place to be. But if growth is becoming more of an issue, and the Fed pivots, then things will change quickly.\nThat's when duration becomes the trade. For example, the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:TLT) will be higher as interest rates fall.\nThat's the actual lesson from past oil shocks. The first trade is obvious. The rest, in all aspects of inflation, rates, and sectors, are where the markets are truly decided.\nPhoto: Shutterstock\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.42.0","shortVersion":"4.42.0","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2622801511","isCrawlerRequest":true}
