Sanctions debate rapidly heading towards energy sanctions in Ukraine-Russia crisis At the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine a week ago, almost every analyst agreed that Russian oil and gas would keep flowing westwards. The state of mutual energy dependence seemed too entrenched. On one side, the EU could not decouple itself easily from the source of 38% of its natural gas imports. On the other, Russia under financial sanctions would need cash. Old hands reflected that, even in the long decades of the cold war, the Soviet Union and Europe maintained commercial relationships in energy. A week later, such thinking looks naive. The “shock and awe” financial sanctions, especially those aimed at Russia’s central bank, exceed anything previously seen, but the shortcoming is obvious: if you really want to hit the Russian economy hard, the place to aim is its energy export sector, a part that has been spared sanctions so far and generates hundreds of millions of dollars daily. The point is made repeatedly by Ukrainian officials in their appeals for the trade to cease, and its moral force is hammered home with every fresh Russian atrocity.

Supplies of Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Europe have been disrupted by uncertainty over whether ships can discharge cargoes at European ports due to sanctions imposed on Moscow, according to ship tracking data and trade sources on Wednesday. The disruptions come at a time when Europe is contending with record prices for natural gas due to tight supplies that have ramped up energy bills and led governments to pay billions of dollars in subsidies to consumers struggling to stay warm. Four tankers that loaded LNG at the Russian gas terminal in Yamal and initially said they were sailing to British and French ports have changed their destination status to "For Orders", Refinitiv Eikon ship tracking data showed.

Bullard Says Fed Must Follow Through With "Rapid Withdrawal Of Accommodation" Or Risk Losing Credibility One day after markets freaked out that the Fed''s tightening plans had suffered irreparable damage at the hands of Vladimir Putin, whose incursion into Ukraine would mean not only sharply higher inflation but a much greater global slowdown than many had feared, prompting several ECB talking heads to hint at a pause in normalization, moments ago one of the Fed''s most notable hawks, St Louis Fed president Jim Bulllard, tried to ease market fears by calling for a “rapid withdrawal of policy accommodation” and emphasized policy makers must follow through with rate hikes and balance sheet runoff or risk damaging the central bank’s credibility. Speaking at a a meeting of Greater St. Louis, Bullard said that while inflation “has surprised substantially to the upside", the current situation " calls for rapid withdrawal of policy accommodation in order to preserve the best chance for a long and durable expansion”, even though the best chance for preserving the expansion would have been a rate hike some time in late 2020 early 2021 and now many wonder if it''s not already too late.
