“Stronger U.S. dollar, weaker oil/commodity prices, weaker world trade/petrodollar liquidity, weaker EM (and global growth)… and repeat. Ad infinitum, this would lead to Oilmageddon, a ‘significant and synchronized’ global recession and a proper modern-day equity bear market,” Citi strategists say in a report cited by CNBC.

Adds the report: “The death spiral is in nobody’s interest. Rational behavior, most likely, will prevail.”
