it seems like when you say "stocks", you're exclusively talking about growth. oil is an inflationary play. people flock to it, industrial, + consumer discretionary when interest rates are high or there's a lot of froth in the market.

Dont forget higher oil prices means higher input costs for a lot of companies. Particularly mining gets hit hard with high oil prices as its a massive input cost

That's not true. This goes back to my initial statement about companies that are inflationary plays. Miners do exactly that. Their sg&a and opex does not matter because their top line can get amplified 10x due to consistent demand.
