The recent attack on Saudi Arabia is not a minor detail for the global economy

ZAP Notícias15 September 2026 at 11:44

The recent attack on Saudi Arabia is not a minor detail for the global economy. Pipeline attack threatens 4% of global oil supply. Saudi Arabia risks running out of oil reserves for export. Saudi Arabia risks running out of oil reserves destined for export – if the main pipeline connecting the country's interior to the Red Sea is not quickly reactivated.

The interruption, announced on Friday due to drone attacks the previous week, linked to the war with the Houthis, could remove up to four million barrels of oil per day from the market. This volume represents approximately 4% of global oil supply. The main pipeline connecting Saudi Arabia's interior to the Red Sea was deactivated following the drone attacks carried out the previous week.

Why this matters

This attack may directly affect fuel prices in Portugal and Europe, given that any reduction in global oil supply tends to cause price increases. Portuguese consumers face potential pressure on energy costs, while businesses dependent on petroleum derivatives may see their production costs increase. The article highlights that this is not a minor issue, but rather an event with real implications for the global economy.

Deco Proteste warns: lower income tax withholdings don't mean paying less tax. Bill may come later

Deco Proteste warned that the reduction in IRS source withholdings may leave more money available in salary in the final months of the year, but doesn't necessarily mean paying less tax. According to the consumer defense organization, taxpayers may have to settle accounts with the tax authorities when they file their annual IRS return, so they should be careful not to confuse immediate cash in hand with an actual reduction in tax burden.
