if oil continues up and home prices refuse to fall

these central  bankers will    push  rates up another  2%  as a final act to   bring    both under control , it will also   plunge  the world including      usa into   recession  

high oil prices  are like a slap in the face to western globalists intent on punishing russia , yes we  all know the high price is fabricated by    OPEC  and others    

the only way to defeat that will  be one final   push higher in interest rates   which will bring most development projects
(lenders will also tighten credit restrictions) to a halt  and slow the economy  

i dont think the average  joe  can take another      30% increase in food prices 

i dont think leaving rates  at 5% is enough  deterent

Central banks have an egg on their face...their hikes barely worked.  Insanity is trying the same thing and expecting different result.  Hiking these days causes inflation, higher costs passed to the consumer

Like you said, the price of oil is artificially manipulated. The housing market has a shortage of offer and new builds. In both cases, the prices don't react normally to interest rates. For oil, if demand goes lower due to higher rates, then OPEC can lower offer and keep price steady. For housing, demand is inelastic because people need a place to stay. Higher rates mean less new builds and
