Russian Oil Price Cap: America and western countries will impose a price cap on Russian oil, which may be announced soon

Posted on 29th Nov 2022 by rohit kumar

During the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war since February 2022, Western countries are imposing various economic sanctions on Russia. Meanwhile, Russia is providing petroleum products to India at cheap rates. Now, to crack down on Russia selling oil to India, the US and its allies are planning to cap oil prices at $65 to $70 per barrel.

 

The G-7 group and the European Union may soon announce a price cap to crack down on Russia selling oil to India at cheap prices. If this happens, it may affect India's purchase of oil from Russia. Ambassadors of all countries involved in the European Union met on Wednesday to approve the imposition of a price cap on Russian oil and have proposed a price cap level. As soon as this proposal is approved, the price cap can be announced. If there is an announcement to impose a price cap on Russian oil, a fall in the prices of crude oil can be recorded in the international market.

 

 

Meanwhile, Tetsu Emory, CEO of Emory Fund Management Inc., has said that demand-related concerns have increased due to the ongoing lockdown in China under the zero corona policy and the deterioration of the environment due to it. On the other hand, a meeting of OPEC countries is going to be held on December 4. Tetsu Emory said oil prices could remain subdued until OPEC countries agree on further cuts in production quotas or the US takes steps to rebuild its strategic petroleum reserves. In October 2022, OPEC countries decided to cut their production target by 2 million barrels per day by 2023.

 

India has been buying large quantities of oil from Russia since the Ukraine war. India is getting an exemption on the purchase of oil from Russia. Oil transactions between India and Russia are going on despite opposition from America and Western countries. According to media reports, if a price cap is imposed on Russian oil, then India will also be affected by it.
