AI insight

AI-generated

The lapse of the sanctions waiver reduces supply of Russian oil to global markets, particularly affecting price-sensitive importers like India. This tightens seaborne crude supply, supporting Brent/WTI prices and widening refining margins for non-Russian crude. The channel is regulatory (sanctions enforcement) with a supply-shortage effect. Impact is global but especially acute for EM oil importers (India, Turkey) that relied on discounted Russian barrels.
