Oil Prices And Sanctions Strategy: The Apparent Contradiction By John Kemp, senior market analyst at Reuters Apparent contradictions are the most fascinating phenomena in commodity and other financial markets, pointing to an unresolved tension for policymakers and potential mispricing. Even before the Ukraine crisis intensified this week, oil price indicators pointed to a market that was exceptionally tight, with production persistently falling short of consumption, inventories low and expected to fall further. Russia’s invasion and the imposition of sanctions by the United States and the European Union in response have caused traders to anticipate the market will become even tighter as production and exports are disrupted. Brent’s six-month backwardation has climbed to more than $11 per barrel, the highest since September–October 1990 following Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait , up from $6 at the start of this month and $3 at the beginning of January.
