Deutsche Bank: Current Global Energy Trends "Eerily Similar" to 1970s Stagflation Nightmare
**March 10: Deutsche Bank Research Chief Spots 1970s Oil Crisis Parallel in Current Energy Trends**
Jim Reid, Head of Research at Deutsche Bank, said flatly in a recent report that today’s global energy market trajectory is strikingly similar to the lead-up to the 1970s’ second oil crisis. Both crises emerged 4–5 years after a major inflation spike, with Iran as the epicenter.
“Whether history repeats itself fully depends on how long this conflict lasts,” the report noted.
But Deutsche Bank highlighted a critical contrast: In the late 1970s, the second oil shock sparked a wage-price spiral as inflation expectations spiraled out of control — forcing central banks to implement aggressive monetary tightening. Today, long-term inflation expectations remain extremely stable, even after the 2022–23 inflation surge.

Over the same period, Bitcoin’s price has fallen from roughly $96,000 to $69,000. Such moves often spark investor panic: some voluntarily deleverage their positions, while others face forced liquidations due to margin calls. This has driven a notable drop in open interest contracts, reflecting an overall deleveraging trend in the derivatives market.
The analyst noted that if the estimated leverage ratio fails to rebound during the current consolidation phase, it could signal the spot market is taking control of price trends—helping stabilize the market. In many cases, deleveraging phases let the market reset on a healthier footing, as lower leverage reduces systemic pressure and supports price stability a
