Donald Trump’s Saudi Opportunity
It is impossible to know the full extent of Saudi public opinion since only a couple of organizations are able to conduct surveys in the kingdom and only under very limited conditions. However, Saudi nationals are voracious users of social media, and even if they occasionally self-censor politics, debate can be extraordinarily open and opinionated on social and cultural issues.

That means some of these moves, and any changes to investment strategies, could reverberate across the financial ecosystem.

IEA Says Global Oil Market Faces a Million-Barrel Glut Next Year
Global oil markets face a surplus of more than 1 million barrels a day next year as Chinese demand continues to falter, cushioning prices against turmoil in the Middle East and beyond, the International Energy Agency said. Oil consumption in China — the powerhouse of world markets for the past two decades — has contracted for six straight months through September and will grow this year at just 10% of the rate seen in 2023, the IEA said in a monthly report on Thursday. The global glut would be even bigger if OPEC+ decides to press on with plans to revive halted production when it gathers next month, according to the agency.

World faces oil surplus in 2025 on weak demand, IEA says
Global oil supply will exceed demand in 2025 even if OPEC+ cuts remain in place, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Thursday, as rising production from the United States and other outside producers outpaces sluggish demand. The prospect of a more than 1 million barrels per day (bpd) excess supply - equal to over 1% of world output - is a headwind for OPEC+, which comprises the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies such as Russia - in its plan to start raising output. Oil demand growth has been weaker than expected this year in large part because of China. After driving rises in oil consumption for years, economic challenges and a shift towards electric vehicles are tempering oil growth prospects in the world's second-largest consumer.

France dreamed of €800M Saudi pledge to fund cultural projects.
But a source in the French Ministry of Culture familiar with the talks said the French estimates were always “fanciful amounts” that were never validated by the Saudis. “Our predecessors showed their naiveté,” the source said. “With the current price of a barrel of oil, even the Saudis, wealthy as they are, can no longer afford this.” Former Culture Minister Franck Riester, however, argued that just because a deal has not been finalized doesn’t mean the project has failed. “It’s a long-term project, with interlocutors who are sometimes less mobilized and reactive,” he said. “That’s not, however, a sign of poorer performance.”
