Trouble in Saudi Arabia

SAUDIA-M 5-9-2016 SAUDIA-FOR-M 5-9-2016

The fall in the price of oil is having a political impact within the power structure of Saudi Arabia. Eventually, the rise in the dollar on world markets will force the peg to fail. As that develops, we should pay attention for this type of event may lead to a very serious political situation that could change the structure of government. The risks begin to build in June, October, and then next March.
