KEY POINTS
The US is now the world’s largest oil producer, surpassing Saudi Arabia and Russia, and that has made the crude market more volatile.
The policies of President Donald Trump and sanctions on two OPEC members, Venezuela and Iran, also have been key factors in price swings.
The US is now producing more than 12 million barrels a day and is on pace to become a net exporter within a few years, a growth story that is a ‘seismic event’ for the economy, according to IHS Markit vice chairman Daniel Yergin.
