Read our privacy policy Oil prices surged in early morning trading after Saudia Arabia and other major oil producers announced a surprise cut in production. Analysts said higher oil prices would help fill Russian president Vladimir Putin’s coffers as his country wages war on Ukraine and force Americans and others to pay even more at the pump amid inflation fuelled in part by that conflict. The cuts represent less than 5 per cent of the country’s average production of 11.5 million barrels per day in 2022.
