Russia"s flagship Urals crude oil has dropped to approximately $34 per barrel, marking a significant decline. This price decrease has widened the discounts to Dated Brent, which is currently near $61 per barrel. The decline in Urals crude prices is attributed to intensifying U.S. sanctions targeting Moscow"s energy sector, as reported by Bloomberg.
These developments come amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and economic pressures affecting Russia"s oil exports. The sanctions have had a notable impact on the pricing and availability of Russian crude oil in the global market.
