One of two things is happening here, imo.

1.) the US and other countries finally got together and paid the Saudi government to stop loss-leading their oil to make expansion in said countries difficult.

2.) the Saudis stopped blinked, and decided they couldn't lose that much money anymore whilst also messing with their international rep.
