Oil prices rose around 2.0% on Tuesday as WSJ reported that the G7 and the EU plan to introduce a cap on Russian oil prices tomorrow, in order to punish the Kremlin for its invasion of Ukraine. The price could oscillate in the region from $60 per barrel to $70 per barrel. Nevertheless disputes between EU members could still prevent approval.
OIL.WTI managed to break above local resistance at $81.20, which is marked with previous price reactions and if current sentiment prevails, buyers may test major resistance at $83.30. Source: xStation5
