Apparently in addition to Trump probably producing a recession and thus clobbering oil demand, OPEC decided, for some reason, to increase production.

Oil’s rout was triggered Thursday by US President Donald Trump deluge of tariffs, which threaten the global economy and energy consumption. Hours later, OPEC+ tripled a planned output hike for May, in what delegates called a deliberate effort to lower prices to punish members that were pumping above their quota.
West Texas Intermediate futures have fallen about 14% in just two days — settling near $61 a barrel in a move similar to steep losses seen during the pandemic — while Brent also ended the day at the lowest since 2021. The declines were exacerbated on Friday by China’s retaliation against the US duties, including a 34% tariff on all imports from the US starting within a week.

The entire global trade system is in free fall.
It's so crazy to blink past tanking indexes in Tokyo, Frankfurt, and Dubai while pumping a fist and announcing "Fuck yeah! We got Russia!"
If anyone should be extremely worried right now, you'd think it would be the Saudis.

When the US suffers along with the rest of the world: "YES! Take THAT Amerikkkan Empire!"
When Russia suffers along with the rest of the world: "W-we shouldn't celebrate... t-think of everyone else who's being hurt..."
Curious, the difference in reactions to the exact same fucking crisis.

Russia didn't even get a tariff right? So they hurting just from side-effects? lol

I'd guess they're increasing production on the hopes that less countries purchase from the US
fewer
I understood that middle eastern oil can be dirt cheap because it is simply pumped, whereas US oil can’t be because you have a lot more costs, especially with fracking.
They’re trying to block “drill baby, drill” by making it unprofitable for companies to do that

they didn't get tariffs because they are embargoed.

The world gets poorer > oil and other raw materials become cheaper > Russia earns less money > Russia also gets poorer.

Turns out when lunatics seize control of the insane asylum, except the asylum is the world's wealthiest economy, it ultimately impacts every economy on earth.

Big Cheeto was afraid the penguins would flood American markets with cheap eggs, thus the tarifs.

$23.7 billion is nothing, are these guys a third world country or something?

Really puts the £36 TRILLION that's sitting liquid in offshore tax havens into perspective. $23.7 billion isn't even 1% of that.
