AI insight
AI-generatedThe US ends a sanctions waiver that allowed limited Russian seaborne oil imports by countries like India. This reduces global supply of discounted Russian crude, tightening the market. Combined with Strait of Hormuz instability, oil prices are under upward pressure. Refiners in India and other former waiver beneficiaries lose access to cheap feedstock, squeezing margins. The impact is global but especially affects EM oil importers who relied on Russian discounts. Channel: regulatory (sanctions tightening) + supply_shortage (reduced Russian crude flows).
