OPEC(Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Venezuela) is currently flooding the market with their oil. This causes the price per barrel of oil to drop. This drop makes it hard for many of the developing oil industries in several countries, such as the US and Canada, to make profit as the cost for drilling and refining oil usually leads to the companies going in debt. These companies had originally taken out these loans with the expectation that they could pay them back due to a high price per barrel. As the market is currently flooded and price per barrel has gone done, many offshore drills are forced to shutdown as they are no longer profitable.

Nations like USA and Canada are able to withstand these economic hits due to their diverse economy. They also have the power to pump more money into the oil industry and continue their growth in market share. One reason they haven't done this is due to the effect the drop of oil prices has on Russia. Russia is a nation whose economy is dependent on exporting raw materials and fixed prices. The price of gas lowers below the level of which Russia can make profit from selling their oil. As such their economy plummets. The lowering gas prices is a direct catalyst for the fall of the Russian Ruble.

Saudi Arabia also loses money from flooding the market. But in return, the action ensures that it maintains the largest portion of the market share(due to the decline of other oil producing nations outside OPEC such as USA, Russia, and Canada). While the US has the ability to forcefeed it's oil industry, it yields as Russia is hit much harder than the US.

Thank you for educating me on the subject.

Unlike most of OT I actually took the time to read most of the thread, though I suspected it to have something to do with ruling people out.

short version

Saudi Arabia tosses a bunch of oil to everyone

oil prices go down

everyone loses money

countries that have lots of variety in economy are alright

those who dont get rekt, bad

russia gets rekt bad

usa can stop saudi arabia but dont because russia is getting rekt

saudi arabia loses some money but wins in the end

usa loses some but wins in a bigger goal

I just googled what 'haraatz' is and apperantly its an israeli news site. He thinks I an article off an israeli news site. And worst of all this has to be one of the worst news sources if all the information they could include was 3 short paragraphs.
