“Russia is trying to attract foreign traders to the emerging futures platform based on the St. Petersburg International Commodity and Raw Materials Exchange (SPIMTSB). The goal is to increase revenues from the sale of oil of the Russian brand Urals, making it pricing independent of the price of the reference European brand Brent. Another task of the Russian leadership is to get away from estimating the price of oil in dollars, ”the agency writes.
