Goldman Sachs is back in the game
20 years ago, Goldman Sachs used to be a Wall Street legend and a dream company to work for graduates with a financial degree. Over the last few years, the bank has been a loser with thousands of disappointed employees, managers, and investors. However, the other day Goldman Sachs made an attempt to get back in the game.

Market Players Play Oil Price Guessing Games
The international market of crude oil seems to be in panic. Yet, the panic is snowballing. The reason for that is said to be the statement made by Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak about the possibility of easing the OPEC+ deal in June 2018, which came as a surprise to the international trading community.

Crude Oil Goes Above $80/b, Morgan Stanley Improves Oil Forecast

Oil Prices At $79/b, Russian Ruble Still Weak. Why?
On Tuesday, May 15th, Brent oil reached $79/b. Strange as it may seem, the Russian Ruble hasn’t reacted to this so far, even though this always has been a positive sign for Russia’s national economy and currency heavily reliant on crude oil prices. Moreover, the currency has been going slightly down for a while despite being backed by higher oil prices.
Russia Isn’t Interested In OPEC+ Anymore
Right in advanced of the forthcoming OPEC+ summit some experts doubt that Russia is still interested in the agreement. The strategic objectives of the OPEC+ deal are almost reached. The imbalance in the global oil market has almost been eliminated. The cost of a barrel of Brent oil has increased by more than 100% since late 2016. At this point Brent oil is trading above 70 dollars per barrel. On Q1 2018, the OPEC made 400 million dollars a day more than 12 months before.
Who Loses and Wins from Oil Prices At $70/b?
High oil prices have two sides of one coin. On the one hand, while oil producers are benefiting from today’s oil prices over $70/b, this seems to be creating an extra pain for oil consumers worldwide. What exactly has been happening to oil-producing economies?
American Oil Export to Europe Quadruples Thanks to OPEC+
As predicted by many experts, the OPEC+ agreement has been favoring American shale oil producers. The export of American oil to Europe has quadrupled. The thing is that the agreement between the OPEC and Russia-led non-OPEC oil producers pushed oil prices high enough to make American shale oil production profitable again.
Russian Oil Production Is About To Peak and Start Declining in the Near Future
According to Finanz, with reference to the International Energy Agency, Russia has been benefitting from its oil production and export for decades. However, this is about to change in the future since the Russian oil industry is about to see its production peak, which means it will inevitably start going down further down the road.
