Saudi Arabia reported that its oil exports reached the highest level since the war in Iran started, with Riyadh exporting six million barrels per day, according to intelligence firm Kpler. Despite this increase, oil prices dropped on Friday. Meanwhile, consumer sentiment figures showed a new decline, even as major stock indexes closed a winning week. Shipments climbed 80% in September compared to August.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The high export volume from Saudi Arabia is occurring despite multiple threats, including an embargo declared by the Houthis in the Red Sea and Iran's chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz. The simultaneous drop in oil prices and consumer sentiment suggests underlying economic weakness in the region.
