🛢️ Saudis, Russians reaffirm oil output cuts

📝 Our report: Saudi Arabia and Russia have decided to keep their oil output curbs at 1 million barrels per day through the end of the year as oil prices dipped following an initial spike due to the conflict in the Middle East. 

 🔑 Key points:

• The announcement by the OPEC+ heavyweights comes after a retreat of oil prices following the initial surge that took place at the onset of the Hamas-Israel war.

• Crude prices initially rose sharply after the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict at the start of October.

• Despite the surge, a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing has also raised questions about oil demand from the world’s largest importer and the resulting impact on prices.

💡 So what: Oil prices often respond to geopolitical conflicts with increased volatility and potential price spikes. The extent and duration of these effects depends on the specific nature of the geopolitical events and how they unfold. Because oil affects so many industries and products, sharp price fluctuations can have large trickle down effects for economies around the world.
