Is Oil Low Price Going to Sustain the Economic Recovery?

... speculation. Then, as partially anticipated, there's the financial risk. Many producers have incurred in heavy debts to finance their development, confiding in their revenues from oil sales to repay them and in the favorable interest rates, Venezuela being a prime example.

A Chess Match for the Control of Oil

... on geopolitical ground, with the aim to knock out of the market not the shale industry, but rather the other traditional producers. And if we factor in that this effectively translates into a hard impact on the economies of countries like Russia and Venezuela, which are not currently enjoying a healthy diplomatic relationship with the United States, then sinking the oil price down would be a way to kill two birds with one stone, configuring a win-win scenario for the Saudi-American partnership.

Islam, the hidden “I” in BRICS

... religion and others who are no longer followers but hold true to their cultural roots in the former Ottoman Empire and the Levant and the North African littoral (Maghreb) and Egypt.

Can Russia help save Peronist Argentina from itself?

... and elsewhere, the Putin visit to Argentina will include discussions on oil, arms and heavy equipment.
