Oil Prices Surge Amid U.S. Sanctions on Russian Exports

Add to Favorite
Added to Favorite


Oil prices extended their upward momentum for a third consecutive session on Monday, with Brent crude surpassing $81 per barrel for the first time in over four months. The surge is fueled by U.S. sanctions expected to disrupt Russian crude exports to major buyers like China and India.
Market Highlights

Brent crude futures rose by $1.47 (1.84%) to $81.23 a barrel, reaching its highest level since August 27.
WTI crude futures increased by $1.55 (2.02%) to $78.12 per barrel, marking the highest since October 8.
Both benchmarks have risen over 6% since January 8, reflecting market concerns about restricted Russian oil flows.

The U.S. Treasury’s expanded sanctions on Russian oil, announced Friday, target key producers such as Gazprom Neft and Surgutneftegas, alongside 183 vessels involved in transporting Russian oil. These measures aim to weaken Russia’s revenue streams amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

Impact on Global Oil Dynamics

Disrupted Russian Exports: The sanctions directly affect 25% of Russia’s oil exports, equivalent to 1.7 million barrels per day (mb/d) in 2024.
Shift in Trade Flows: Major importers like China and India may pivot to alternative suppliers in the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas, driving up global shipping costs and crude prices.

Goldman Sachs projects that Brent crude prices could remain above their $70–$85 forecast range in the short term due to these disruptions.
