BENGALURU/NEW YORK/LONDON : Oil prices settled around 4% higher yesterday as the United States banned Russian oil imports and Britain said it will phase them out by year-end, decisions expected to further disrupt the global energy market where Russia is the second-largest exporter of crude. Oil prices have surged more than 30% since Russia invaded Ukraine, and the US and other countries imposed a raft of sanctions. Russian oil and gas exports were already upended before the ban, as traders sought to avoid running afoul of future sanctions. US President Joe Biden announced a ban on Russian oil and other energy imports. Britain said it will phase out the import of Russian oil and oil products by the end of 2022, giving the market and businesses time to find alternatives. Britain''s business minister Kwasi Kwarteng said he was exploring options to end British imports of Russian gas which accounts for about 4% of supply in the country. Brent crude futures settled at US$127.98 (RM535.25) a barrel, 3.9% higher, while US crude futures settled at US$123.70 a barrel, a 3.6% increase.

Chinese Firms Mull Buying Stakes In Russian Energy Giants As it turns out, American megabanks like JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs aren''t the only ones buying up distressed Russian assets. Chinese banks are also getting in on the fun. China is considering buying or increasing stakes in Russian energy and commodities companies, such as gas giant Gazprom and aluminum giant Rusal International, according to people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg reports. Beijing is in talks with its state-owned firms, including China National Petroleum, China Petrochemical, Aluminum Corp. of China and China Minmetals Corp., about potential opportunities for potential investments in Russian companies or assets, the people said. Any deal would be to bolster China’s imports as it intensifies its focus on energy and food security, not as a show of support for Russia’s invasion in Ukraine, the people said. The talks are still in an early stage, and it''s unclear whether a deal will result, as the discussions aren’t public .

LONDON: McDonald''s Corp said on Tuesday it would temporarily close its restaurants in Russia, becoming the latest Western company to pause all operations in the country after it moved troops into Ukraine. The fast-food chain said it would go on paying salaries to its 62,000 employees in Russia. Earlier on Tuesday, Shell stopped buying oil from Russia and said it would cut links to the country entirely while the United States stepped up its campaign to punish Moscow by banning Russian oil and energy imports. The West''s moves to isolate Russia economically for attacking its neighbour have turbocharged global commodity and energy markets, sending prices soaring and threatening to derail the nascent recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Britain too said it would ban imports of Russian oil but only by gradually phasing them out during 2022 to give businesses time to find alternative sources of supply. The surge in metal prices since Russia attacked Ukraine is starting to hurt some players caught on the wrong side of the market, as well as end consumers such as carmakers.

Mengshin Lin, Deseret News President Joe Biden announced a U.S. ban on all Russian oil, gas and energy imports Tuesday at a White House press conference and noted the decision is likely to drive already record-level consumer prices even higher. “Today, I’m announcing the U.S. is targeting the main artery of Russia’s economy,” Biden said. “We’re banning all imports of Russian oil, gas and energy. “The American people will deal another powerful blow to Putin’s war machine.” Biden said international economic sanctions in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine are pummeling the Russian economy and have helped drive the value of the country’s currency, the ruble, down by 50%. But Russian energy exports have not, until now, been targeted as a part of sanctions, thanks in large part to Europe’s heavy dependence on Russian energy imports.

London’s markets inched to gains on Tuesday as the oil majors benefited from US and UK plans to ban Russian oil over the conflict in Ukraine.

In the face of mounting criticism from the Opposition, former energy chamber chairman Eugene Tiah has withdrawn from being part of an investigative committee appointed to probe the February 25 diving disaster where four divers were killed. In a statement on Tuesday, Tiah, an engineer, said, "It appears that the good of the country is subservient to the shenanigans of a few. I have thus taken the decision to withdraw from the investigating committee." On Saturday, Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar raised objections to Tiah being a member of the investigative committee – chaired by attorney Shiv Sharma and includes subsea specialist Gregory Wilson and yet to be named experts from BP and Shell – on the basis that Energy Minister Stuart Young was once his attorney. On Sunday, the Opposition in a statement doubled down on its stance. Tiah, in his first response to the Opposition''s objections on Tuesday, stated, that he was asked by the Energy Chamber to be its representative to the committee which has 45 days to investigate the diving disaster and intended to "bring to bear my 40 years of technical and managerial experience in the energy industry with particular interest in safety and process safety leadership, which I agreed to do." "I believe that no time should be lost in ascertaining the facts that led to this tragedy.
