Oil prices surge due to Iran conflict, but UBS economist Arend Kapteyn argues the global economy is less vulnerable today. U.S. and European oil spending as a percentage of GDP has significantly decreased due to economic expansion and energy efficiency gains. Even if prices reach $100 per barrel, UBS predicts U.S. oil spending would remain manageable at around 2% of GDP. The economys shift towards less oil dependence over decades is proving resilient, potentially mitigating recession or inflation fears from higher energy costs.
