The price of crude oil increased to its highest level due to conditions which impacted supply. Historically, crude oil has traded at between 70 and 150 USD per barrel. But the price increased to over 200 USD in March 2022. Growing demand in Canada for crude to be turned into refined petroleum, coupled with a sharp fall in production in Saudi Arabia have both been factors in the price increase. Bauxite production in Saudi Arabia for 2017- 18 fell 65% year-on-year due to an agreement with OPEC. The Energy Information Administration predicts that global consumption of crude oil is likely to be greater than production by 20 million barrels this year. In the US, companies in the steel and alumina industry have put pressure on the US government to relax import controls, warning that otherwise they might run out of petrol. Commentators predict that most steel and alumina producers will be unaffected because crude is such a small part of their spending. Do you think a) the supply and b) the…
