"Oil and several other products are priced in $ so the their import price is independent of the $"

If the $ goes down, the price of oil in $ will go up, all else being equal.

What you are saying is that in a market with many buyers and sellers, price is dependent only on supply and demand from one player. I disagree. I think the supply and demand of the countries that convert their oil buying money from local currency to $, and their oil revenues from $ to local currency, also effect price.
