After surging nearly 50% since the onset of the United States-Iran conflict, this crude oil price shock is one of the largest on record since the inception of WTI futures trading in the mid-1980s, said National Bank of Canada.While the change is historically significant in percentage terms, the same can't necessarily be said about where the price stands outright, noted the bank.That's true for the US dollar-denominated price, at least. The price of WTI in Canadian dollar (CAD or loonie) terms is near a record high early in Q2, recently trading just below C$160/barrel -- a level reached only once before, briefly, during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, stated National Bank.Canadian producers -- and governments -- could, as a consequence, be poised to capture one of the most lucrative quarters on record in terms of royalty revenues, added the bank. How long this fiscal windfall will last is uncertain, but if sustained, its impact on provincial and federal finances will be "significant" -- particularly for oil-levered provinces such as Alberta.Though the net impact of this crude shock on the Canadian economy -- and its implications for monetary policy -- has yet to be fully revealed, National Bank urges governments to capitalize on this opportunity.Most notably, this can be done by directing any additional, unbudgeted revenues to the bottom line or toward productivity-enhancing investments in the national interest. This federal government has promised to "spend less to invest more" -- a sentiment that will once again be tested in Tuesday's Spring Economic Update, according to the bank.
