Migrants and the National Guard in Texas fight for the truth by dancing on barbed wire. Washington gave notice at first that the fence, or lack thereof, was a federal issue, but then shut up. Too many guns. Scary.

Yeah. One meter of border between the U.S. and Mexico is a high margin asset. Maybe they’ll start selling it privately to pay off the foreign debt. Don’t miss it. Hello!

This release was prepared with the direct participation of analysts from trading platforms eOil.ru and IDK.ru. Here is an assessment of the situation on the global and Russian markets.

Yemeni Hussites again fired on a tanker with Russian oil. This outrage is unlikely to stop in the near future, which means that oil prices will get some support due to the violation of transportation security in the Red Sea.

As long as Brent oil prices are above the 80.00 level, none of the Arab leaders will make any statements. They are clearly happy with the current state of affairs in the market. There are rumors that Russia is producing slightly more than the agreements stipulate, but we will be forgiven, at least for now.

For several weeks now, 14 tankers carrying 10 million barrels of Russian Sokol crude oil have been standing off the coast of South Korea and have been unable to unload because of sanctions. The situation is stalemate, but the ships are in no hurry to change their destination. At least one third of the oil from the Sakhalin-1 project (Rosneft) was intended for India, but this country is consistently reducing its purchases from Russia due to U.S. sanctions pressure. It should be noted that if Russian oil cannot reach the market in the previous volumes, it will lead to a rise in prices.
