The OPEC oil embargo was an event where the 12 countries that made up OPEC stopped selling oil to the United States. The embargo sent gas prices through the roof. Between 1973-1974, prices more than quadrupled. The embargo contributed to stagflation. In response to the oil crisis, the United States took steps to become increasingly energy independent. Oil prices fell from a high of $147 in July 2008 to a low of $33 in February 2009. Over the same time period, gas prices fell from $14 to $4. The lower price for oil and gas due to the financial crisis was the major impact on the sector. Energy prices fell due to diminishing demand. In this article, we will look at how oil prices impact the U.S. economy. Key Takeaways Over the past decade, the U.S. has begun producing more oil, decreasing our reliance on imports. The Impact of Higher Oil Prices on the Global Economy: I. Introduction. Over the past two years, oil prices have increased very sharply, with the Fund's reference price rising from a 25 year low of $11 per barrel in February 1999 to a peak of close to $35 per barrel in the first week of September 2000. 2 After easing somewhat in early October, oil prices increased again in late October and The sharp fall is broadly similar in magnitude to the decline in 1985-1986, when OPEC members reversed earlier production cuts, and in 2008-2009 at the outset of the global financial crisis. Understanding the underlying causes of price drops is essential to interpreting their macroeconomic effects.

Since oil provides the main source of energy for advanced industrial economies, an oil crisis can endanger economic and political stability throughout the global economy. In the post- World War II period there have been two major oil crises. If there is a major round of debt defaults by the shale industry, interest rates are unlikely to fall back to previously low levels. Because of the higher interest rates, oil prices will have to rise to an even a higher price than required in the past–in other words, to more than $100 barrel, say $125 to $140 barrel.

Capital outflows from oil exporters therefore played an important role in the global liquidity glut during the build-up to the US subprime crisis. Analysis of direct capital flows is hampered by
Eventually, slowing economic activity in industrial countries and investments in additional energy production and energy conservation technologies helped to saturate the market with oil and brought an end to the oil crisis.
