Soaring Saudi exports and trade tensions will test oil price resilience
Oil markets have remained remarkably resilient so far this year, despite concerns over U.S. President Donald Trump's trade policies and rising OPEC+ production quotas. But that strength will now be tested, as Saudi output is starting to surge just as demand appears to be slowing. Benchmark oil prices are currently near $70 a barrel, down from a 2025 high of $82 in mid-January, but above the four-year low of $62 set in May. That followed Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff flip-flop, which sparked confusion about the policy direction and fears of a severe disruption to global economic activity and oil consumption. Investor jitters were compounded by a significant OPEC+ policy shift. Under the leadership of Saudi Arabia, the group including the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and Russia, started to aggressively ramp up production quotas in April for the first time in over three years. The group is set to add 2.5 million barrels per day of production between April and September. Given this backdrop, why has crude remained so resilient? It's likely in large part because most of these fears have yet to materialise. Crucially, Trump not only delayed his 'reciprocal tariffs', but he also held positive talks with Beijing, which managed to defuse some of the market's worst fears about trade tensions between the world's two biggest economies. To be sure, economic activity has slowed in recent months, but not nearly as badly as the initial drop in oil prices implied. Global GDP is forecast to slow to 2.3% in 2025, according to a recent World Bank report, nearly half a percentage point lower than expected at the start of the year. The OPEC+ supply hikes were also initially more talk than action. The decision by OPEC+ to unwind 2.2 million bpd of supply cuts, as well as to raise the UAE's baseline production by 300,000 bpd starting in April, initially had little impact on global supplies, mostly because several members had already been producing above their assigned quotas. While Saudi Arabia's production did rise significantly in June by 700,000 bpd to 9.8 million bpd, a large share of the increase was consumed domestically by its refineries as well as in power plants that use crude to generate electricity during summer's peak demand, limiting exports. Saudi "crude burn" is set to reach 695,000 bpd in July and is expected to remain elevated in August, according to consultancy Wood Mackenzie. Shifting tides The tide may be turning, however. As we move into the second half of the year, the negative trends that spooked investors in April now appear to be building. Trade tensions have come back to the fore in recent days after Trump outlined new tariffs for a number of countries, including allies Japan and South Korea, along with a 50% tariff on copper, and a 35% levy on many Canadian goods. Crude consumption already started to falter in recent months. While demand rose by a robust 1.1 million barrels per day in the first quarter of 2025, growth is set to halve in the second quarter, according to the International Energy Agency. Importantly, demand in countries that are heavily dependent on trade with the United States seems to have taken a hit. Demand in China dropped in the second quarter from a year earlier by 160,000 bpd, Japan's by 80,000 bpd, Mexico's by 40,000 bpd and South Korea's by 70,000 bpd. U.S. demand over the same period also contracted by 60,000 bpd, according to the IEA. These trends could accelerate if the trade wars kick in in earnest. Meanwhile, oil production is expected to start rising significantly in the coming months, particularly from Saudi Arabia, the world's top oil exporter, as it ramps up production and as its domestic crude burn eases as summer ebbs. Saudi Arabia's increase in domestic consumption initially meant its oil exports only rose from 5.9 million bpd in April to 6.4 million bpd in June, according to Kpler data. Saudi shipments are, however, set to surge to 7.5 million bpd in July, the highest since April 2023. Saudi production and exports are likely to increase further in August as Riyadh seeks to regain market share. Its slice of the global market declined to 11% last year from a 13% average in the previous three decades. The kingdom's exports to China are set to rise to the highest in more than two years in August, Reuters reported. The increases in OPEC+ output, together with large increases in production outside the group, are set to increase global supply by 2.1 million bpd to 105.1 million bpd in 2025, according to the IEA. The energy watchdog forecasts global demand to reach 103.7 million bpd this year, which implies a significant oversupply of 1.4 million bpd in 2025. Oil prices will therefore likely come under heavy downward pressure in the coming months, particularly once demand ebbs in the fourth quarter. And this downward push will only get stronger if Trump's renewed trade threats turn out to have real bite.

Saudi: SFDA suspends European pharmaceutical factory over critical GMP violations
RIYADH — The Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) has suspended the registration of a European pharmaceutical factory following the discovery of serious violations of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) during an external inspection. The decision came after SFDA inspectors identified fundamental lapses in the factory's manufacturing procedures and internal quality systems, posing a direct risk to the safety of pharmaceutical products intended for export to Saudi Arabia. The suspension was enacted as a precautionary measure to prevent the distribution of potentially unsafe medicines in the Kingdom. The inspection, conducted under the SFDA's foreign factory oversight program, aligns with international regulatory standards and involved a comprehensive review of the facility's manufacturing operations, quality controls, and distribution protocols. Several European regulatory agencies have since reached out to the SFDA to examine its technical findings and take further actions, reflecting growing international recognition of the SFDA's regulatory rigor and global role in pharmaceutical safety. The Authority stressed that the monitoring of overseas manufacturing sites is a key pillar of its regulatory framework and is carried out independently using scientific and technical data. It reaffirmed its commitment to consumer safety and pledged to continue taking decisive action against any manufacturer found to be in violation of safety protocols. © Copyright 2022 The Saudi Gazette.

Uber doubles down on commitment to empower women in Saudi Arabia
Uber to host Saudi Arabia's first-ever GigSister event, creating a dedicated space for women drivers to connect and build community Collaboration with Alnahda Society to empower women in mobility through capacity building initiatives and drive economic opportunities. Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – As Saudi Arabia celebrates seven years since the historic decision that allowed women to drive, Uber is proud to announce the upcoming launch of its new 'Women Drivers' product, designed to give women riders the option to be matched exclusively with women drivers. The feature builds on Uber's commitment to empowering women through mobility and flexible economic opportunities. The 'Women Drivers' product allows women riders to book rides exclusively with women drivers via the Uber app, expanding economic opportunities for Saudi women while enhancing rider choice. The initiative aligns with Uber's long-term vision for a more inclusive platform and forms part of its broader commitment to support the participation of women in the Saudi economy. The product is also designed for ease of use to ensure women feel comfortable and empowered. It will be available gradually for riders in the coming weeks. Here's how the product works: On-demand - The Women Drivers product allows women riders to be matched with Women Drivers. The product functions just like UberX and is selectable from the product mini-list with similar prices as Uber X. Reserve - For women riders looking for added structure and planning, they can reserve a ride with a women driver up to 30 minutes in advance through the Uber Reserve feature. Youssef Abouseif, KSA GM at Uber, said, 'Women across Saudi Arabia have shown how mobility can open the door to new possibilities. At Uber, we see that future as electric, shared, and autonomous - but also inclusive. The launch of the 'Women Drivers' product reflects our commitment to empowering women and supporting their mobility and economic independence. We're continuing to support women who choose to drive via the Uber app - giving them more choice, more opportunity, and a stronger sense of community. We're also thrilled to witness this dynamic change unfold in Saudi Arabia, and we firmly believe initiatives like these play a pivotal role in Saudi Vision 2030.' Empowering Saudi women through Al Nahda partnership and GigSister events Uber is proud to announce its partnership with Alnahda Society, a leading non-profit organization established in 1962 with a mission to empower women both economically and socially. This collaboration aims to support women in mobility through capacity-building initiatives, including financial literacy programs, by equipping women with essential skills. The initiative paves the way for economic independence and opens up opportunities such as driving via the Uber app. This effort builds on Uber's previous collaboration with Alnahda through the Masaruky initiative, which supported thousands of women in joining the workforce by helping them learn to drive and obtain a driver's license. Additionally, Uber will host its first GigSister program in Saudi Arabia, creating a dedicated space for women drivers to connect, share experiences, and foster a supportive local community. These initiatives highlight how Uber is going beyond mobility to actively invest in the development and success of women across the Kingdom. Over the years, Uber has introduced a series of programs in Saudi Arabia, from the Wusool initiative, which has supported over 20 million subsidized rides for women, to Women Rider Preference, which allows women drivers to choose if they want to exclusively pick-up women riders. Each of these initiatives has been carefully curated to advance women's participation in the workforce and align with the Kingdom's broader socio-economic goals. By integrating innovation, empowerment, and local insights, Uber continues to provide tangible solutions that address the unique needs of women in Saudi Arabia. With this latest product launch and new partnerships, Uber remains committed to fostering an inclusive, supportive, and progressive platform for all. About Uber Uber's mission is to create opportunity through movement. We started in 2010 to solve a simple problem: how do you get access to a ride at the touch of a button? More than 58 billion trips later, we're building products to get people closer to where they want to be. By changing how people, food, and things move through cities, Uber is a platform that opens up the world to new possibilities.
