No, because financial assets are valued in tersm of how much money they can produce per year, so the currency is factored out. The problem is that all assets have high price/earning ratios. A typcial asset earns maybe 5% per year, but prfit rates are say 10% per year. The difference can only be asset apprecation–a bubble that will pop. You can measure price and earning in cocunuts not dollars it does not matter the ratio reamins the same.

Since oil prices are supported only by monoploy control over supply, if a bubble price still exits when and if FF is actually commercialized, prices could fall extremely rapidly in antcipation of the breaking of that monoploy, much faster than FF would actually affect supply. I doubt that demonstating scientifc feasiblity would do that as commercialization woudl still be veiwed by traders as highly uncertain and far off.
