Oil is both an inflation input and a sector-rotation driver, so the same move can lift energy while pressuring the rest of the risk complex.

Treat the oil move as an inflation wildcard until you know whether it is supply, demand, or geopolitics doing the work. What happens next is whether markets validate identify the driver — then map to yields.
