The most important thing is not whether oil reaches $120. The bigger concern is whether oil stays high for a long time.
The chain is simple:
Oil ↑ → Inflation ↑ → Fed stays stricter → Interest rates ↑ → Tech valuations ↓
My view:
1. High-growth tech: Most vulnerable because higher rates hurt expensive valuations.
2. Airlines & transport: Higher fuel costs can reduce profits.
3. Oil & energy companies: Could benefit from higher oil prices.
4. Oil services: Could benefit if producers increase spending.
For long-term investors, I would not panic or sell everything because of a $120 oil scenario.
I would watch oil prices, inflation, Treasury yields and Fed policy.
Bottom line: A short oil spike is manageable. Long-lasting high oil prices are the real danger.
