Kremlin Says It Won't Accept A $60 Price Cap On Its Oil. Is Preparing A Response

RT: Russia won’t accept oil price cap – Kremlin

The EU and G7 have agreed to a $60 per-barrel ceiling for the purchase of Russian crude

Moscow is not planning to recognize a Western-imposed price cap on Russian seaborne oil exports, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Saturday, adding that the government is currently carrying out a review of the situation.

“Now we are analyzing,” Peskov told journalists. “Some preparation was carried out for such a ceiling. We will not accept this ceiling, and we will provide further information on how the work will be organized after the review.”

As to what is my take.

Russia will sell it's oil to other buyers. As for the rest of us. This move will dislocate markets and will probably result in a spike in oil prices. What may save us from a prolonged price increase is a recession. All the signs are there for a major global recession in 2023, and that will definitely bring down the price of oil.
