09:38pm, Tuesday, 15'th Feb 2022 Zero Hedge
WTI Holds Losses Despite Across-The-Board Inventory Draws Oil prices tumbled today after Russia said some troops are starting to return to their permanent bases, removing some of the geopolitical risk premium that has been embedded recently. “Profit-taking with oil was inevitable after Russia’s Defense Ministry stated that some troops are starting to return to their regular bases after completing drills,” said Ed Moya, Oanda’s senior market analyst for the Americas. “The Ukraine situation still remains tense and oil prices could swing $10 in either direction. ” But for now, the next leg will be governed by any potential surprise in tonight''s inventory data. API Crude -1.076mm (-220k exp) Cushing -546k Gasoline -923k (-900k exp) Distillates -2.382mm (-1mm exp) This is the 6th straight week of falling stocks at the Cushing hub as API reported inventory draws across the board… Source: Bloomberg Having neared $96 amid Friday''s panic-fear-mongering of an imminent invasion by the Biden administration, today''s Putin headlines sent WTI back to a $90 handle briefly before it bounced back to $92 after Biden spoke again and reiterated the threats.

US withdraws nearly all remaining soldiers from Ukraine over possibility of Russian invasion
05:02pm, Saturday, 12'th Feb 2022 Dawn.com
The US is withdrawing nearly all of its remaining soldiers from Ukraine, the Pentagon announced on Saturday, as tensions soar over a possible Russian invasion of the eastern European country. Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin has ordered the temporary repositioning of the 160 members of the Florida National Guard who were in the country, advising and mentoring Ukrainian forces, Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby said in a statement. The troops who Kirby said were being withdrawn with the safety and security of our personnel foremost in mind will be repositioned elsewhere in Europe. Since 2015, reservists from the US National Guard have been advising and training Ukraine''s army alongside soldiers from other North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato) countries, notably Canada and Germany. This repositioning does not signify a change in our determination to support Ukraine''s Armed Forces, but will provide flexibility in assuring allies and deterring aggression, Kirby said. Putin-Biden phone call Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Joe Biden held a high-stakes telephone call as a tense world watched and worried that an invasion of Ukraine could begin within days.
