Oil Prices are crashed due to the breakdown in the union of Saudi Arabia and Russia. Russia and Saudi Arabia, two of the world’s oil superpowers, had cooperated since 2016 to control yield and bolster costs. Nobody knew accurately, what arrangement would rise out of “Vienna,” yet an agreement appeared to be sure. With oil demand in markets plunging as a result of the spread of COVID-19. The association seemed to be a higher priority than any time in recent memory to all producing agencies. The members from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), of which Saudi Arabia is the undeclared pioneer, were quick to arrange with partnered oil-producing agencies, driven by Russia. Be that as it may, on March sixth, to everybody’s bewilderment, the gathering separated without any agreement.

Saudi Arabia decided to slash the production of oils, but Russia refused to implement it. Following the situation, Saudi Arabia decreased the prices of oil and also declared a price war against the United States and Russia. Saudi Arabia announced to increase the production of fuels from the next month.

Saudi Arabia threatened higher-cost oil producers:

They just not decreased the price of oil; they also threatened the other higher-cost producers in the world. The discount on oil prices, according to the latest updates, is almost 6$ to 8$ per barrel. And this discount in prices is not for a specific region, it for all of its customers either they are in Europe, Asia or in the United States. 

The consumers of the United States pleased and want fewer prices. But on the other hand, the oil-producing agencies of America are not satisfied with this decision. 

OPEC members and Saudi Arabia looked to lessen the production to support oil costs. But a single cartel can never move the markets alone. It needs the help of Russia, which isn’t an OPEC part yet has, as of late, been planning with the association. However, Russia has opposed creation cuts. On Friday, the discussions finished in disappointment. OPEC and its partners declared no new decreases and didn’t focus on expanding current cuts.
