據今日油價9月20日報道，隨著油價開始下跌，沙特阿拉伯加大了聲明力度，甚至警告賣空者不要做空大宗商品價格。

據彭博社報道，沙特能源大臣阿卜杜勒-阿齊茲·本·薩勒曼王子周四“明確暗示”，隨著油價繼續下滑，沙特可能會改變生產政策的方向。

他表示:“我們絕不會讓這個市場變得無人看管。我希望交易商們盡可能地保持緊張狀態。我要確保的是，任何在這個市場上賭博的人都需要考慮清楚后果。”與此同時，布倫特原油價格跌至每桶40美元以下，市場繼續顯示出需求下降的跡象。歐佩克+表示，應對不斷下跌的油價，他們將“先發制人”，建議參與國采取進一步必要措施。

周四，阿卜杜勒阿齊茲召開了一次會議，彭博社稱，此次會議“強烈譴責”了供應過剩的石油生產國。其中，阿聯酋是“最糟糕的配額破壞者之一”，八月份只完成了配額的10%的減產量。

阿聯酋8月份的日產量過剩約52萬桶，該國將試圖在10月和11月進一步減產，以彌補上月的不足。伊拉克和尼日利亞等國已經執行了超過100%的減產要求。

Saudi Prince Warns Short Sellers Not To Bet Against Oil

As the price of oil begins to falter, Saudi Arabia has stepped up its rhetoric, even going as far as to warn short sellers not to bet against the price of the commodity.

Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman gave "clear hints" on Thursday that there could be a change of direction in production policy forthcoming as the price of oil continues its slide, according to Bloomberg.

He said Thursday: “We will never leave this market unattended. I want the guys in the trading floors to be as jumpy as possible. I’m going to make sure whoever gambles on this market will be ouching like hell.” At the same time, Brent was falling below $40 per barrel and the market continues to show signs of waning demand. OPEC and its allies said they would be "proactive and preemptive" in addressing the diminishing price, recommending "participating counties take further necessary measures".

Abdulaziz started a meeting on Thursday with what Bloomberg called a "forceful condemnation" of members who are pumping out too much supply. His ire may have been directed to UAE Energy Minister Suhail al Mazrouei, who attended the meeting. The UAE has been "one of the worst quota breakers" in OPEC+, only making 10% of its pledged cuts for August.

UAE was overproducing by about 520,000 barrels per day in August and the country will try to make additional cuts in October and November to make up for past month shortcomings.

Countries like Iraq and Nigeria have implemented more than 100% of their required cuts, helping give OPEC and Abdulaziz credibility.
