US Treasury releases oil price cap remarks
The US Treasury Department on Friday issued new guidance on
the Western oil price cap proposed for Russian oil exports,
saying that offshore service providers would not be responsible for false pricing
information provided by Russian crude buyers and sellers.
The Treasury Department said in the directive that
those who buy Russian crude at prices above the limit and
who knowingly provide false documents may be investigated for sanctions violations,
and said that governments participating in the cap would
exchange such information to assist the police.
The price cap plan approved by the Group of Seven wealthy
(G-7) calls on participating countries to reject insurance,
finance, brokering, navigation and other services for oil shipments priced
above the unresolved price cap on crude oil and petroleum products.
The Treasury said these service providers must keep
records of Russian oil shipments for five years.
However, the Treasury warned these companies not to be
“vigilant” about red flags suggesting potential evasion or fraud,
including evidence of deceptive shipping practices,
refusal to provide required price information,
and unusually favorable conditions that could indicate a
back arrangement to evade the price cap, or expensive service costs.
She said
any signs of document manipulation,
newly formed companies and abnormal shipping
methods should also raise concerns.
The Treasury Department added that the countries participating in the price cap
will work together to determine the Russian crude oil cap levels and shipments
of large and low-volume petroleum products.
The ministry said that consensus would be reached
on price cap levels with the help of a
“rotating main coordinator”, indicating that the Alliance states
would have an interim leadership role as the plan progressed.
The Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy, Ben Harris,
spoke on Friday, saying it would be a few weeks
before the full price cap plan was developed,
including setting the cap level.
Western sanctions imposed on Russia for its invasion
of Ukraine led to a sharp collapse in Russian imports,
severely slumping its domestic production,
while foreign companies left the country in large numbers.
In the meantime, the Russian oil industry benefited from a 60 percent
increase in oil prices, which better offset the decline in export volumes.
Wall Street records first weekly gain since mid-August
US stocks jumped on Friday,
and major indexes posted their first weekly gain
in four weeks as investors headed to buy,
ignoring concerns about the economic outlook.
The gains followed a sharp sell-off that began in mid-August,
raised by concerns about the impact of tight monetary policies
and signs of an economic slowdown in Europe and China.
Analysts said that the market’s recovery this week
was more linked to the previous over-selling,
as uncertainty remained high over inflation
and the Fed’s aggressiveness in raising interest rates.
Investors are awaiting the August Consumer Price Report on Tuesday,
seeking any signs of declining inflation,
and prices are expected to rise by 8.1 percent over the year in August,
compared with 8.5 percent in July.
Economists expect significant inflation to register
its biggest monthly
decline since the peak of the pandemic in April 2020,
boosted by declining gas prices.
All 11 major S&P sectors traded higher on Friday, with telecom, t
echnology, energy and consumer appreciation services advancing.
Stocks with high growth rose in the week after being hit since
the beginning of the year by concerns about higher interest rates.
Investors are concerned about the prospects o
f the Federal Reserve raising massive interest rates again.
Fed Governor Christopher Waller said on Friday that
the Fed should be more aggressive in raising interest
rates given the potential for the economy to take a hit,
while Kansas City Fed President Esther George said
taming inflation could be a difficult task.
The remarks come after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said on Thursday
that the US central bank was “strongly committed” to controlling inflation.
The CBOE, a measure of investor concern, closed to a two-week low of 22.79
but remained above its long-term average of about 20.
The Dow Jones Industrial Index rose by 377.19 points, 1.19 percent, to 32151.71,
the S&P rose by 61.18 points, 1.53 percent, to 4067.36,
and the Nasdaq Composite rose by 250.18 points, 2.11 percent, to 12112.31.
Over the week, the Dow advanced by 2.7 percent,
the S&P 500 rose by 3.6 percent and the Nasdaq rose by 4.1 percent.
