Goldman flipping to call for $120 Brent confirms the oil shock is intensifying,
Created
Thesis
Goldman flipping to call for $120 Brent confirms the oil shock is intensifying, not fading — supply is genuinely constrained. Stock futures are already slipping as traders realize expensive oil squeezes consumer and corporate margins and keeps the Fed hawkish. This week packs a hot-expected inflation print and an active energy supply crunch into the same window, a recipe for a sharp equity drawdown. Rather than guessing direction on individual stocks, buying index downside protection or volatility exposure pays off if the oil spike triggers the risk-off move that's already brewing.
