We rarely see such strong movements in oil stocks, but it is most likely caused by two factors. Firstly, strategic reserves are released to a small extent or have already been completely retained. Secondly, significant oil processing, as evidenced by a strong increase in stocks of petroleum products.
At the same time, quite a lot is happening in the oil market. OPEC+ said it has no plans to cut production any more for now, while the G7 countries want to quickly decide on a maximum price level for Russian oil exports. If such a scheme were adopted by the EU, it would make it possible to continue buying oil from Russia, but at a lower price, which is currently set in the range of USD 60-65 per barrel. Earlier Fox reported that according to its sources Russia oil price cap will be between $60-63 per barrel.
