Oil prices climbed sharply following news of fresh US sanctions designed to restrict Russian crude exports to key Asian markets, including China and India. The move aims to curb Moscow’s revenue streams, further pressuring its energy sector amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. Brent crude surged above $85 per barrel, while WTI touched its highest level in weeks.

The sanctions target intermediary companies and shipping networks allegedly facilitating the trade of Russian oil. By tightening enforcement, the US seeks to hinder Russia’s ability to bypass price caps imposed by Western nations. China and India, two of the largest buyers of Russian crude, are expected to feel the ripple effects, potentially reshaping global trade flows.

Market analysts suggest the sanctions could create supply bottlenecks, pushing prices higher as refiners scramble to secure alternative sources. While OPEC nations may benefit from increased demand, the global oil market remains fragile, with concerns over slower economic growth and reduced energy demand looming.

Despite immediate price spikes, traders remain cautious, closely monitoring the impact of the sanctions on supply chains and overall market stability. Any disruption in Russia’s crude exports could exacerbate existing volatility, keeping energy prices elevated in the near term.
