He said, "Although the Russian side has not yet accepted the unconditional ceasefire initiative, the closed-door dialogue channel between the United States and Russia is still operating." He also emphasized that the key to forcing Russia to return to the negotiation table is to "build an effective pressure mechanism." Zelensky pointed out that if diplomatic and economic pressure on Russia is strengthened, a comprehensive ceasefire may become a reality within weeks or months.

Despite geopolitical concerns, WTI reverses a two-day rally near $76.50, and the US Dollar falls

WTI crude oil has retreated from its previous weekly high, falling to $76.50 while posting modest losses early Monday. In doing so, black gold struggles to validate geopolitical fears emanating from Russia and fails to cheer a decline in the US Dollar amid hawkish central bank concerns.

 

However, Politico reports that the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union (EU) states have imposed new sanctions on Russia after a dispute between Poland and Italy delayed the process for days. Reuters reported that Russia had halted the supply of oil to Poland via the Druzhba pipeline.

 

It should be noted that the recent improvement in the developed economies' economic data has allowed their respective central banks to defend their hawkish bias and suggest further rate increases, despite the looming threat of a recession. Concerns about future poor demand present similar difficulties for energy prices.

 

The US President Joe Biden's willingness to loosen control over the Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR) in order to combat the oil shortage could also have an impact on energy prices.

 

Despite the most recent pullback from the seven-week high, the US Dollar's strength also exerts downside pressure on the energy benchmark.

 

American Petroleum Institute (API) and Energy Information Administration (EIA) data on oil inventories may be of interest to oil merchants. Nonetheless, the risk catalysts will receive the lion's share of attention for establishing direction. Oil investors may be encouraged by the rumors of a covert alliance between China and Russia.
