With the recent turmoil across North Africa and the Gulf, investors are now becoming increasingly concerned that the ‘political contagion,’ as the wave of upheaval has come to be known, may flow over into Saudi Arabia as well.

The country supplies about 12% of global oil production and sits on at least a fifth of the world’s oil reserves. – CNBC
