Saudis announce big price cuts. World oil price war.

Down $4 to $5 on world market and down $7 to US market. Big blow to Russia as a pay back because they wouldn’t play ball with OPEC and curb production. They say they will start full production. Poor Putin.

weeks ago. OPEC called for cuts and Russia said they can make $ at $45. Russia wouldn’t play ball so the Prince is calling him on it. This could kill Russian economy and sink Putin. I’d bet he cries uncle and will now cut production. May be too late.

As economies tank, competitive currency devaluations to try to steal what is left of consumer demand.
