Kremlin Says It Won't Accept A $60 Price Cap On Its Oil. Is Preparing A Response

RT: Russia won’t accept oil price cap – Kremlin  

The EU and G7 have agreed to a $60 per-barrel ceiling for the purchase of Russian crude  

Moscow is not planning to recognize a Western-imposed price cap on Russian seaborne oil exports, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Saturday, adding that the government is currently carrying out a review of the situation. 

Now we are analyzing,” Peskov told journalists. “Some preparation was carried out for such a ceiling. We will not accept this ceiling, and we will provide further information on how the work will be organized after the review.”

As to what is my take. 

Russia will sell it's oil to other buyers. As for the rest of us. This move will dislocate markets and will probably result in a spike in oil prices. What may save us from a prolonged price increase is a recession. All the signs are there for a major global recession in 2023, and that will definitely bring down the price of oil.

  1. OPEC might decide to respond to consumers attempting to fix the oil market. They might cut production by 1 million bbl//day for example. If any group will control the market it will be OPEC, not consumers.

  3. Amazing how the technocrats have gotten everyone twisted enough that they're all hoping for a recession to save us.
