History

Historical Context

In October 1973 OAPEC, led by Saudi Arabia, imposed an oil embargo on the United States and other Israel allies, raising the posted price from $3.01 to $5.12 per barrel and cutting output by up to 25 %. The embargo was lifted in March 1974, showing how geopolitical conflict can shock markets. OPEC+’s July 2024 decision to add 188,000 bpd echoes that historic output adjustment.
