Yardeni's three-stage oil-shock framework is not an econometric model with precise thresholds but rather a descriptive heuristic for how bond markets respond to oil price levels: Stage 1 ($100-$125): inflation fears dominate, Fed turns hawkish; Stage 2 ($125-$150): growth fears emerge; Stage 3 ($150+): real demand destruction, Fed turns dovish.

“Well, look, I I I don't think it's a framework. It's really kind of descriptive of the the shape of the yield curve, how the bond market is responding to oil prices. Uh it's uh it's kind of hypothetical, right?”
