According to Robert Yawger, executive director at Energy Futures at Mizuho securities, OPEC and the entire energy industry should thank Saudi Arabia for the way the Kingdom managed their oil production during the Covid-19 pandemic – giving up some market share and cutting more oil products than they had agreed to – while adding that the entire market would be best left in Saudi’s hands to manage. Yawger did, however, not mention the Kingdom’s role in the oil price war at the beginning of the pandemic, when Saudi Arabia and Russia deliberately increased production and exports, flooding the world with oil and crashing prices.
