The IEA's report calls this breakdown evidence of a "structural shift in the market." But the same pattern followed the 1973-4 and 1979-80 oil crises, when prices dropped from their highest peaks, but stayed quite high for years, representing a drag on the stock market, the housing market, and the world economy.
IEA的报告将这种脱钩称为"市场的结构性转变"。但同样的油价变化在1973-4和1979-80的石油危机之后都有所发生。在那两个时期，油价从最高峰回落之后却还保持了数年的高位，从而影响了股票市场、房屋市场和世界经济的成长。让我们祈愿目前油价坚挺的影响不会长期持续。但也请不要屏住呼吸（但也请做好持久的准备-译者）。
