A spike in crude can cause the April crash of sock markets across the globe – higher commodity inflation and stagnation as well as deflation in most sectors

A limited military confrontation with Iran can create a spike in oil market to $100 a barrel. That in turn can cause the April 2007 crash in the stock markets across the globe.

Crude-oil futures briefly spiked to a high above $68 a barrel in after-hours trade Tuesday on concerns about escalating tensions between Iran and the West.

The supply of crude and derivatives are adequate. But the war and scare premium is increasing again. After the spike is over, the crude oil will resume its downward trend.

Some analysts believe, the economic front is very strange. Higher commodity inflation and stagnation as well as deflation in most sectors of the economy can be very negative for corporations. The stock market can take a nose dive once it realizes that most companies will lose money because of higher raw materials and lack of pricing power for finished goods and services.
