S4:E7 Will the oil price shock reignite broad inflation in Canada?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Global oil prices remain high as the Middle East conflict persists, raising questions about a potential comeback of the broad-based inflation Canada experienced during and after the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, this shock is fundamentally different from the past. Unlike 2022, when the Russia-Ukraine war compounded systemic supply chain disruptions from pandemic lockdowns, today’s commodity shock is narrowly concentrated in oil, and unfolding at a time when global supply chains are more resilient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this episode of the 10-Minute Take, join RBC Economics’ Claire Fan and Carrie Freestone as they discuss:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
