VIX
Volumes and Volatility are Low
VIX at its lowest level since August
Crude $78
Lower despite API reporting a crude draw
Europe diplomats meet today
with the goal of approving Russian crude oil price cap and price mechanism
EU discussing capping /Russian oil at $65-70 per bbl, close to the $78 it is trading today
Dual goal of:
Keep Russian oil flowing as much as possible
Limit Russian revenues
will probably not be met.
Russians can say “we’re selling at market prices” (to China, India, etc) thus keeping Russian production at current levels
Russian will probably not say “we’re selling at the cap”, so Russian revenues will not be limited.
Ultimately, the market price will determine what Russia does
If oil prices fall below the cap, will Russia reiterate that it won’t supply countries that participate in the cap?
