OIL: Russia’s Four-Week Average Crude Loadings Fall: Bloomberg

OIL

Four-week average crude volumes slipped to 3.13m b/d in the week, down by 30k b/d compared to the previous period, Bloomberg said. 

  • The more volatile weekly average was up 40k b/d, to 3.14m b/d.
  • Crude shipments so far in 2023 are around 45k b/d below the average for the whole of 2023.
  • Falling global oil prices have also cut the price of Russia’s Urals crude to average $60.12/b at Russia’s Baltic Ports, according to Argus. This pushes Urals back towards the $60/b G7 cap.
  • Russia terminated its export targets at the end of May, opting instead to restrict production, in line with partners in the OPEC+ oil producers’ group.
