Saudi Arabia just dropped a bomb: crude production has collapsed to 6.2M barrels/day—lowest since 1990. That's a 1.9M barrel/day cut.
Tanker data backs it up. Exports fell ~40% in August, from 5.1M to 3.1M barrels/day. This isn't a drill.
Brent crude is now trading above $108/barrel.
What this means: tighter supply, higher energy costs, inflationary pressure back on the table. If you're in energy stocks, industrials, or anything sensitive to input costs, you're watching this closely.
The Iran conflict is reshaping the oil market in real time. Saudi's production floor is now a geopolitical ceiling for global supply.
Energy names are moving. Refiners, drillers, majors—all getting attention. But higher oil also squeezes margins elsewhere. Airlines, logistics, consumer discretionary—those are the pressure points.
This isn't just an oil story. It's a macro story. And it's unfolding fast.
