๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸThe ultimate macro impact of this round of oil price increases on US stocks centres squarely on Option B:  The direct transmission of energy inflation will force Kevin Warsh's Fed into a surprise September rate hike, sending the heaviest liquidation pressure straight to growth and technology stocks. 

Why?  When crude oil stays pinned at USD 95, it transmits a massive price impulse straight through the Consumer Price Index or CPI & Producer Price Index (PPI) metrics.

Kevin Warsh has warned that financial conditions are not restrictive enough.  Surging oil gives him a mandate to push the September interest rate hike probability to over 70%.

Higher interest rates drive up global bond yields.  The market drops today not because corporate earnings are bad, but because higher macro yields negatively impact tech stocks.

Let's hope that Trump will do a TACO & things will calm down.
