2019 & Saudi Arabia’s 11-Year Cycle
1920–1921 – Ibn Saud (founder of Saudi Arabia & powerful advocate of Wahhabism) conquered Rashidi dynasty – backed by Ottomans – and retook majority of current Saudi Arabia. [The Rashidi Dynasty had overtaken Riyadh, the Saudi capital, in 1865 – 55 years or 5 x 11-Year Cycle – earlier.]
1931—1932 – Kingdom of Saudi Arabia established.
1941–1942 – Aramco develops first oil fields in Saudi Arabia.
1953 – Death of Ibn Saud; Ascension of King Saud
1964 – King Saud deposed; King Faisal takes power. (Arab League – founded by Saudi Arabia – creates PLO at Palestinian National Council in E. Jerusalem in 1964… the first summit of the Arab League. March 2017 is the 34th summit.)
1975 – King Faisal assassinated; King Khalid in power.
1986 – Oil price crashes. King Fahd, who ascended in 1982, declares himself ‘Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques’.
1997 – Greater Arab Free Trade Area (GAFTA)
2008 – Israeli–Gaza War sidelines Arab Peace Initiative. King Abdullah convenes interfaith conference in Spain. Oil peaks.
2019 – GCC common currency? Arab Union? Peace Accord??
2019 is 40 Years from the 1979 seizure of the Grand Mosque in Saudi Arabia (Mecca) & the push for an overthrown of the Saud-family dynasty. The attackers also announced the arrival of the Mahdi – Islam’s long-awaited messiah. That came slightly more than 40 years after the 1938 discovery of oil in Saudi Arabia – the source of Saudi Arabia’s power.
2019 is also one 17-Year Cycle from March 28, 2002 when Saudi Arabia proposed the Arab Peace Initiative – a peace plan for the Arab-Israeli conflict.
2019 is also 50 years from founding of OIC – Organization of Islamic Cooperation (57 members).
2019 represents Saudi power shifts AND Arab Unity. Hmmm.”
Crude Oil is expected to set a secondary low in 2Q/3Q 2017 and enter more bullish cycles in Sept. 2017 – that should last into 2019 – at the same time that cycles in Saudi Arabia (and Turkey & Israel) begin to escalate higher. 4Q 2017 could reveal the first signs & validation to this analysis.
4Q 2017 into 1Q 2018 is when cycles in all the energy markets (Natural Gas included) should be trending upward – identifying a pivotal period.
