Saudi Arabia holds oil policies steady

The passing of King Abdullah in the early hours of Friday led to speculation that a leadership transition could result in a change to the country's oil policy and strategy. In recent months, OPEC has opted to continue pumping oil in a bid to defend market share rather than cut production and bolster prices. Some hence questioned: would Saudi Arabia reverse its policy of insisting on market share in aftermath of the change at the top in Riyadh?
