Saudi energy minister: world has ‘capacity’ to absorb high oil price

Saudi energy minister: world has ‘capacity’ to absorb high oil price:

"Saudi Arabia’s energy minister said on Friday that the world economy had the “capacity” to absorb higher prices, the day after crude hit the highest level since 2014. Khalid al-Falih, who has led Opec’s 1.8m barrel a day supply reduction deal with Russia, said that while the kingdom was not targeting a specific price, it had little fear current levels above $70 a barrel would cut into rising consumption. “I have not seen any impact on demand with current prices. We have seen prices significantly higher in the past, twice as much as where we are today,” Mr Falih said at a technical meeting in Jeddah to review the impact of the cuts."
