Oil prices: Saudi doubles down on threat to flood market

CNN  

London CNN Business — Oil prices are falling again Wednesday after Saudi Arabia doubled-down on its threat to flood the world with millions more barrels of crude despite the coronavirus shock to global energy demand. Just a day after confirming that it would jack up production by about 2.5 million barrels per day starting April 1 in a battle for market share with Russia and US producers, state oil company Saudi Aramco said it would increase its “maximum sustainable” capacity by 1 million barrels to 13 million per day. “As this does not affect production in the short term, we believe this does not impact short term prices much, but could influence sentiment negatively, which explains the modest price decline today,” said Bjoernar Tonhaugen, head of oil markets at Rystad Energy. Fatih Birol, head of the International Energy Agency, told CNN Business on Tuesday that producers should stop playing “Russian roulette” with the oil market because it could have “grave consequences.” “The only thing I would hope, that in the oil markets, common sense will prevail and all the actors behave responsibly as the world is facing major challenges today,” he told CNN Business’ Richard Quest.
