-well, that's partly my point.
When Oil hits US$150 the ceiling will be falling in on the US by their words. In the meantime KSA, Russia and the other Net Exporters will be doing very well. High oil prices are not necessarily bad for the overall global economy but locally the effects could be severe and if you are very highly geared to its use and have a loud media, well, its going to sound like the end of the world isn't it...
Nick.
Obviously, oil at$150 a barrel won't just hurt the US. As I just said, the EU gets pretty desperate. And KSA can export oil, but their financial holdings will sink just as fast as deep as those in other countries.
And then we're not yet mentioning third world countries. Or Canada, a major exporter, where the economy is about to have a brain seizure, oil income or not. Or the UK, a former major exporter, which when in comes to housing and mortgages looks worse off then the US. Or China, which will lose a huge chunk of its customer base in the EU and US.
The financial demise does have a link to oil and its price, but is quite capable of causing severe mayhem all by itself.
