About this episode
The episode discusses the potential impact of the Houthi blockade on Saudi Arabia on global oil supplies.
The price of oil could spike further if Yemen's Houthi rebels succeed in their blockade of Saudi Arabia. The conflict between the Houthis and the Saudis has flared up again in the last week.
