OIL
The Biden administration plans more sanctions on tankers carrying Russian crude, Reuters sources said on Jan. 5, as it seeks to reduce Russia's oil revenue.
- The US is increasing pressure on Russia before President-elect Donald Trump takes office on Jan. 20 amid uncertainty over Trump's approach to sanctions on Russia.
- Sanctions targeting tankers that carry Russian oil sold above the $60/bbl price cap are planned, the sources said.
- They are likely to include measures against people involved in some networks trading oil above the price cap, a source added.
