A wise and confident soothsayer would sell their DVC contract ahead of a severe recession if that were the case. Alas, we all know that’s not going to happen.
Went through 25% inflation over 4 years with $5+ national average gas June 2022. Just filled up for $3.10 today and the war is ending. Check the headlines. Iran is relenting. China has put immense pressure on them. US recession?! This would be a depression in Asia if this doesn’t promptly end. America has literally the best setup energy-wise.
Venezuelan heavy crude is flowing to US Gulf refineries and ramping up significantly already. I remember years ago that diesel was routinely cheaper than gas. Now it’s at a $1-1.50 premium. You’re going to see jet fuel and diesel prices collapse over the next 12-24 months. This is going to reduce costs for everything, including travel.
DVC isn’t going to collapse in price. It won’t go up much. It’s basically going to ebb and flow. Maybe more commercial contracts will go up for sale with the renting clamp down announced today, and if people start getting their reservations canceled. Outside of that, you’re looking at regular price oscillations.
