"So if the oil price rises much higher from here can we expect an increase in inflation that will force Central Banks to increase rates to induce a slowdown and perhaps a recession?"
I really don't understand why they would push interest rates higher if the oil price goes higher.
Higher energy costs are already a drag on the economy so increasing interest rates as well is a double whammy.
