Russia tightens Black Sea security, world oil prices fluctuate sharply #Oil Price #Crude Oil #Russia #Black Sea #OPEC #Energy #WTI #Brent #LNG #Geopolitics

Could the fact that Russia's largest oil port in the Black Sea is almost silent because of the risk of UAVs could trigger a new supply shock in the global energy market?

The oil and gas market today focused on information about a clear decline in activity at Russia's largest oil export port in the Black Sea as the risk of drone attacks increases. This development raises concerns about the possibility of disrupting Russian oil transportation, increasing marine insurance costs and creating more pressure on the international energy supply chain.

Although geopolitical risks continue to be high, oil futures contracts have simultaneously adjusted downward. WTI was at $89.31 per barrel, down 3.12 percent. Brent was at $96.78 per barrel, down 3.88 percent. Murban plummeted 9.44 percent to $97.05 per barrel. WTI Midland reached $91.04 per barrel, down 3.36 percent. Mars alone increased 8.89 percent to $110.47 per barrel.

Prices for gas and related energy products also weakened. US natural gas was $2.871 per million BTU, down 1.54 percent. Gasoline futures are at $3.396 per gallon, down 2.87 percent. Heating oil was $4.181 per gallon, down 3.71 percent. European TTF gas was $20.66 per million BTU, down 1.36 percent. Japanese and Korean benchmark LNG was $21.83 per million BTU, down 0.80 percent.

The most notable point is the strong differentiation between the futures market and spot oil prices by region. While WTI, Brent and Murban fell sharply, many Middle Eastern, Mexican, Canadian and US oils rose from 6 to more than 13 percent. This reflects differences in update times, delivery conditions, oil quality, transportation costs and supply risk levels in each region.

The risk of disruption to Russian oil ports in the Black Sea is becoming an important variable. If export activity continues to decline, the market may face higher freight costs, extended delivery times and discount rates.Russia's oil pool shrinks. On the contrary, if maritime security is soon controlled, speculative pressure may decrease and international oil prices will continue to adjust after a period of hot growth.
