Appositive Phrase

Post by amhashem »

Hi guys, in the following sentence:

"Stabilizing energy prices are now helping headline inflation measures move higher, a shift that is expected to continue in the coming months as the early effects of low oil prices wane further."

is "a shift that is expected...." a appositive phrase modifying stabilizing energy prices? Thank you.
