Look to the Markets to Assess Inflation

Simply add the thought that oil at $100/bbl today is the same value arguably as oil at $60/bbl, based on old exchange rates US$/Euro. The conclusion then is that it will be US equities that have a problem, not the rest of the world- as it is only the US (and US peg countries) really seeing the inflation.
Maybe you could do the same analysis, but from the perspective of the Euro ? I for one would be most intrigued to the outcome.
Perhaps also add to this the inflationary impact all those extra petrodollars will have - unless GCC/Opec players switch to Euro's or a basket of currencies.
So many options - so little time !!!
