Posted on 7th Mar 2022 03:07 pm by rohit kumar

The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine has started showing bad effects. Due to this, there has been a strong fall in the global markets, on the other hand, the price of crude oil has reached the sky. On Monday, the price of crude oil saw the biggest jump since the year 2008 and its price crossed 139 dollies per barrel.

 

 

Monday rose by 10 dollars

 

Western countries are continuously intensifying their sanctions on Russia against Russia's attack on Ukraine. The United States and European allies are considering imposing sanctions on imports of Russian oil. Due to this, Brent reached $ 139.13 per barrel and WTI reached $ 130.50. In the early hours of Monday, the price of crude oil suddenly rose by $10 and touched a 14-year high. Significantly, in the year 2008, crude oil reached $ 147 per barrel.

 

 

Preparations for sanctions on Russia's oil supply

 

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Sunday that talks are underway between the US and its allies about imposing sanctions on imports of oil and natural gas from Russia. He said President Joe Biden held his National Security Council meeting on the subject the day before. In addition, Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi said in a letter that the House is currently looking for stronger legislation that would further isolate Russia from the global economy. The remarks came as pressure mounted on the White House and other Western countries to take tough action against Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine.

 

The main reason for the rise in crude oil

 

Talking about the main reason for this rise in crude oil, due to the intensifying war between Russia and Ukraine, America, Europe, and allied countries have made up their mind not to buy oil from Russia. Due to this, the supply fell short of the demand and the crude oil boomed and reached its highest level since 2008. Let us inform you here that Russia is the second-largest oil producer in the world. Significantly, Russia has intensified Ukraine's power attacks and there has been a large number of casualties in this war.

 

Russia second-largest oil producer

 

Significantly, since Putin's declaration of war, the fear of disruption in energy exports had increased, which is now clearly visible. Let us tell you that Russia is the second-largest oil producer in the world, which mainly sells crude oil to European refineries. The countries of Europe take more than 20 percent of their oil from Russia. In addition, Russia produces 10 percent of the world's copper and 10 percent of aluminum in global production.

 

Crude oil may reach $185

 

According to experts, if the war between Russia and Ukraine progresses further, the price of crude oil can reach $ 185 per barrel. Let us tell you here that if the price of crude oil increases by one dollar at the international level, then the price of petrol and diesel in India increases by 50 to 60 paise. In such a situation, due to reduced production and supply interruption, its price is sure to rise and it is expected that due to the crude oil crossing $ 150 per barrel, the prices of petrol and diesel in India will increase by Rs 15 to 22. can. However, experts also say that this increase in the price of oil can not be done at once, but little by little, in several days.

 

The big impact will be seen on India

 

Significantly, the price of crude oil in the international market has reached a high of $ 139 per barrel in the last 14 years. Despite the increase in crude oil prices, the prices of petrol and diesel in the country have remained the same for the last four months. In such a situation, the oil companies are facing heavy losses. In a recent ICICI Securities report, on the increasing losses of domestic oil companies, it has been said that due to the sharp rise in global crude oil prices in the last two months, the government-owned retailers have suffered heavy losses and Now companies are preparing to put the burden on the people of the country to reduce it.

 

Petrol can be costlier by Rs 15

 

Many reports are coming out regarding the increase in the prices of petrol and diesel in the country. According to these reports, within the coming two-four days, the price of petrol and diesel in the country can be increased by Rs 15 to 22 respectively. The report said that domestic oil companies will have to increase the prices of petrol and diesel by Rs 12.1 per liter on or before March 16, 2022, only to compensate for the cost. Also adding the margin (profit), they will have to increase the price by Rs 15.1 per liter. If the oil companies make this increase, then it will be a big blow for the common people of the country.

 

85% crude oil imports

 

Significantly, India is a major importer of crude oil and it buys more than 85 percent of its crude oil from outside. India has to pay the cost of imported crude oil in US dollars. In such a situation, due to the increase in the price of crude oil and the strengthening of the dollar, the prices of petrol and diesel are affected at the domestic level, that is, the fuel starts becoming expensive. If the price of crude oil increases in the international market, then obviously India's import bill will increase. A report has expressed hope that India's import bill may cross $ 600 billion.
