As reported by Bloomberg, global oil prices have reached a four-month high amid new US sanctions against the Russian energy sector.
Regnum reported that on January 10, the United States imposed sanctions against a number of Russian oil companies and individuals. The White House said that these were the largest restrictions against Russia's energy sector. They affected 183 tankers transporting Russian oil, dozens of traders, as well as oil service companies and industry officials. The blacklist included, in particular, Gazprom Neft and Surgutneftegaz.
The sanctions lists also included Novatek partners and Rosatom representatives. The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that the new American sanctions will not go unnoticed and will be taken into account when developing a foreign economic strategy.
The price of Brent crude oil futures for December delivery fell below $72 per barrel during exchange trading on October 28 last year for the first time since October 1.
