As Russia pumps excess cheap oil, crude prices drop
OPEC+ is at odds with Russia over the amount of cheap oil the nation is pumping out onto the international markets.
IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor says the Wall Street Journal is reporting that Saudi Arabia needs $81 a barrel of Brent to break even to cover its massive infrastructure projects. At $73 a barrel this is well below that level.
Where does it go from here? Well, disregarding whether or not Russia remains in the OPEC+ group, it is likely that the oil producer will continue to feed cheap oil through to the markets to help pay for its war in Ukraine.
