India’s state-owned refiner Hindustan Petroleum Corp Ltd (HPCL) is facing payment issues for its purchases of Russian crude oil due to a price cap imposed on exports from the OPEC+ producer.
A recent UK government report shows how much the country spent on Russian fossil fuels in 2022 - figures trade body Offshore Energies UK (OEUK) said showed the “terrible damage” being done to consumers.
The European Union is closing in on a deal to cap the price of Russian crude oil at $60 a barrel, their latest attempt to clinch an agreement before a Monday deadline, according to people familiar with the matter.
A full European embargo on Russian energy supplies will drive inflation in the U.K. even higher than the 40 year record that it is on track to reach, the Bank of England’s chief economist said.
OPEC and its allies once again ratified a small monthly increase in production, even as global markets look set to tighten because the European Union is considering banning supplies from Russia.
