Saudi Arabia vows to continue pumping oil for customers
The world’s largest crude oil exporter, Saudi Arabia, vowed to pump as much oil as its customers need on Wednesday.
The comments came from Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi on Wednesday, indicating that the country doesn’t plan on cutting supply, unless customers refuse to buy the oil, Bloomberg reports.

On Wednesday, Brent crude fell .7 percent to $60.61 per barrel.
