Russia- Ukraine War

 

It is more than a month now, Russia’s invasion which began on Feb 24, has forced more than 4 million people to flee abroad, killed or injured thousands, and left many people homeless. The European Union (EU) joined the US in imposing more sanctions on Russia after reports that Russian forces committed war crimes in Ukraine, killing civilians. 

Though Russia has denied targetting civilians and calls a” special operation to demilitarise and “ denazify” its southern neighbor. Ukraine and Western nations have dismissed this as a baseless pretext for war. The waves of Western sanctions targetting Russian banks are hampering the country’s ability to conduct business, but efforts continue to be constrained by Europe’s dependency on Russian oil and gas. 

The hope for peace talks has got dimmed now after Russia’s foreign minister said that the Ukrainian side has proposed a new draft deal that deviated from the earlier one. The uncertainty in the Russia-Ukraine tension will make the domestic market choppy in the coming week too.

Crude Oil Price

 

The Brent crude June futures fell 1.54 percent for the week ended 8 April. It has touched $109.90 as a weekly high and $98.50 per barrel as the low. The Fuel prices in India have gone up 14 times in the last two weeks, with the hikes occurring almost on a daily basis since March 23. The steep increase in diesel and petrol prices has led to a cascading effect with rising inflation.

Though Russia has given a discount on Crude oil prices, India imports around 1-2 percent from Russia whereas 85 percent of its crude requirement from Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and the US, further for purchasing Russian oil in bulk quantity the payment mechanism should be established. The recent attacks on oil and gas infrastructure in Saudi Arabia is another reason for the spike in crude oil prices. The volatility in crude oil will continue in the coming week, traders should remain cautious in building long positions in the markets.
