Saudi Arabia plans big oil output hike, beginning all-out price war


DUBAI: Saudi Arabia plans to increase oil output next month, going well above 10 million barrels a day, as the kingdom responds aggressively to the collapse of its Ooec+ alliance with Russia.

The world’s largest oil exporter started a price war on Saturday by slashing the prices it sells crude into foreign markets by the most in at least 20 years, offering unprecedented discounts in Europe, the Far East and the United States to entice refiners to purchase Saudi crude at the expense of other suppliers.
