Western hopes for a so-called oil price ceiling from Russia may be shattered by the reality of an energy crisis

The Russian government commented on the introduction by the West of the so-called price ceiling for Russian oil. Recall that the limit of $60 per barrel will be in effect starting tomorrow, December 5.

Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Alexander Novak once again announced that Russia will not supply oil to those countries that are going to buy it, based on the same "ceiling" of $60. It is noted that deliveries will be carried out on the basis of the concluded contracts and at the prices prescribed in the contracts (market prices).



To date, the spot price for Russian Urals brand oil is within the range of $70 per barrel.

Experts in the field of economics note that the West, with its decision to introduce an upper price limit, is probing not even the Russian, but the world market. The hope in Europe and North America is that if Russia can be forced to sell oil below the market price, then the market price itself will begin to fall. However, these hopes may be shattered by the harsh reality of the energy crisis.

Energy resources are currently in great demand, including in connection with the recovery of the economy after the pandemic. If there is not enough energy resources on the world market, this can lead to an avalanche-like increase in prices for hydrocarbons and electricity. Accordingly, the West itself will have to, as it has repeatedly happened, make decisions on exceptions to sanctions, and even on their banal circumvention. One of the options discussed by experts is the appearance on the market of "exotic variants" of oil, when the West, under the guise of "Latvian" or "Cypriot" will continue to buy the same Russian oil.

            Against the backdrop of falling oil prices, OPEC + opposes further production cuts.

            As gas prices continue to fall, a coalition of oil-producing countries led by Saudi Arabia and Russia on Sunday chose not to try to stop the fall by cutting global oil supplies.

            The decision to keep production stable was made on Sunday at a virtual meeting of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its partners called OPEC Plus.

          There will never be a recession, at the moment energy resources have real prices, with the exception of oil (its real price is 120-130 dollars), and never again will prices fall lower in the world. Capitalism itself wanted this, breaking the connections established over 80 years, prices, logistics, built with such difficulty. The West broke it in one fell swoop in a month. It's time to get used to, to live within your means - "according to Senka and a hat."

      Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Alexander Novak once again announced that Russia will not supply oil to those countries that are going to buy it, based on the very "ceiling" of $60

      What will we not deliver to China? Or does anyone have illusions that China and India will buy more than the ceiling?

        They will easily buy more expensive than the ceiling. For oil is a great value in itself. Here you have to look at the market conditions. Plus, Russian oil can easily go not for dollars, but for yuan or rupees, and this is also an additional bonus for the buyer.

        4 December 2022 17: 22
        Z.s. China and India can buy cheaper than the ceiling, the main thing is that Europe then buys Russian oil from them at a much higher price. For the ceiling still significantly covers the cost of production, and the sale of oil for the same India does not bear risks with payment and other sanctions.

          4 December 2022 17: 43
          That's right, Roma, India and China will buy below the ceiling and then probably resell at a higher price. If they don't already. But this does not make it any easier for us, the fact is that the country will sell oil cheaper, which is what the United States and allies are striving for, there will be less money in the country, well, you yourself know everything that follows, or maybe you have already seen if lived in the 80s and 90s.

            Yes, I remember oil at $8 a barrel. But now the situation is different. The reduction in oil production by both Russia and the Arabs at the same time will keep prices high. The Arabs do not intend to dump, as under Reagan.

          Maybe BUT, Russian oil and India are a little closer to the moon. From. India to the Persian Gulf countries is 10 times CLOSER. Doesn't such crazy logistics cover the price gain? hi

            And no one will carry oil to India. We fill it in Russia in a tanker, tacitly owned by the structures of the Russian Federation, we receive payment from India. And the tanker goes to neutral territory, where Russian oil is diluted with Arab oil, and goes to Europe without calling at India, but at a different price.

Everything is simple with them - he stole natural resources from the people, "oiled" the purchased bureaucracy and everything stolen offshore or in real estate on the territory of "Western partners" (Lavrov's favorite expression)!

      In this case, you need to look at how the market will react. So far, we are judging everything by the opinion of politicians who do not particularly understand this white matter. Only the market will decide the issue with the price ceiling. Although I can hardly imagine how you can persuade sellers to buy oil from you for $80, if they sell for $60 nearby.

Moreover, they bent Venezuela, but when will they get hot with production there?
