for years they have been driving price down to fuck with the US oil price to try to drive them out of business, it hurts opec to sell at such low prices, they cant afford to do it forever. Now shit tanked even more and its out of their control, if they raised the price it would just help the US companies, so they are still trying to weather the storm. It has to go back up tho because opec wasn't counting on demand dropping this badly, they cant afford it when all their other markets arent pulling shit in either.
