History

Historical Context

In October 1973 OAPEC, led by Saudi King Faisal, cut oil exports to the United States and other Israel supporters, driving world prices from $3 to nearly $12 a barrel—a rise of about 300%. The embargo lifted in March 1974 but proved that coordinated supply actions could curb volatility. Today the G7 diesel release, Trump’s export plea, and OPEC+ quota postponement echo that 1973 lesson.
