⚠️ Oil spikes have predicted nearly every major market crash in history: The impacts of oil surges on stock markets are significant. In the past: - The **1973 Global Oil Shock** saw stocks down **43%**. - The **1990 Gulf War** led to a **17%** decline. - The **2022 Russia-Ukraine War** resulted in a **19%** drop. Currently, stocks are already down **4%** since the onset of the Iran war. Oil prices have surged from **$58** to a high of **$119**. The critical question remains: how long will these levels hold? Historically, oil shocks tend to influence inflation after **5 to 6 months**, prompting a reaction from the Fed. @odes_ai
