The silence of Riyadh and Moscow regarding OPEC+ decisions has added to concerns in the oil market. While recent meetings of this organization have faced serious challenges due to disagreements over production cuts and prices, analysts are seeking the reasons for this silence and its implications.
Analysis of the Current Situation in OPEC+
OPEC+ continues its activities while the two key countries of this group, Saudi Arabia and Russia, have remained somewhat silent regarding oil production and pricing policies. This silence occurs at a time when the global oil market is facing severe price fluctuations and economic uncertainties.

According to the latest statistics, the production capacity of Saudi oil fields is over 12 million barrels per day, while Russia, with a production capacity close to 10 million barrels per day, is considered one of the main players in the oil market. However, the lack of transparency in the decisions of these two countries could have serious consequences for the oil market.
Consequences of the Silence of Riyadh and Moscow
Analysts believe that the silence of Riyadh and Moscow may lead to an increase in oil prices in global markets. Currently, the price of Brent oil is around $90 per barrel, and many experts predict that if there is no agreement in OPEC+, this price may rise. Additionally, the increase in global oil demand, especially from China, could be another factor for rising prices.
Alongside this, some experts warn of the potential for new tensions in the oil markets. A lack of agreement in OPEC+ could lead to price competition among oil-producing countries, which may ultimately not be beneficial for consumers.
Ultimately, given the importance of Riyadh and Moscow in OPEC+, the silence of these two countries could be seen as a warning sign for global oil markets. Analysts believe that this silence may lead to increased oil price volatility and uncertainty in the market.
