The soaring price might not signal a return to the 1970s oil shocks, but it was enough to cause stock markets to tumble and prompt economic leaders to warn of the threat to global economic growth. Right on cue, here comes Saudi Arabia to save the day. Last week the kingdom said it was prepared to pump an extra 1.3 million bbl. a day to bridge the supply gap. Normally, even the hint...
