Why turmoil in Russia could send oil prices even lower
this won't shield the asset
Crude oil prices were trading as much as 1% higher on Monday after Russia's private army Wagner Group aborted itsmarch towards Moscow, averting what may have been an attempted coup on Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
The price action going forward depends on how the weekend's short-lived turmoil plays out from here.
“The events in Russia lead the market to consider how much Russian oil production and exports could have been affected if Wagner took more territory or if Russia fell into a civil war,” Andy Lipow of Lipow Oil Associates told Yahoo Finance.
“A contrarian view is that this is bearish [for] the oil markets because Putin will try to export every bit of Russian oil he can sell in order to raise money to pay off his supporters and keep the army on his side,” added the analyst.
The developments in Russia have been closely watched, given crude’s volatility in 2022 following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
Prices have declined considerably since their peak last year when West Texas Intermediate (CL=F) went past $120 per barrel and Brent (BZ-F) futures surpassed $130.
On Monday WTI was trading around $70/barrel while Brent hovered above $74/barrel.
"Crude oil - commodities are in a bear market,” Mike McGlone, Bloomberg Intelligence senior macro analyst, told Yahoo Finance Live on Monday.
“The key question you have to ask yourself is what’s going to stop this and save it," he added.
McGlone believes oil is far from bottoming, given that the Federal Reserve is still tightening its monetary policy in an effort to cool the economy and bring inflation back down to 2%.
“I see crude oil heading towards $50, maybe even $40. Natural gas has already done that. It went from $10 to $2," he added.
Crude's pullback over the last year comes as central banks raise interest rates to try to tame inflation, resulting in tighter credit conditions and raising concerns of a recession. China’s recovery from strict COVID lockdowns last year has also been lackluster, hurting demand.

Carnival forecasts lower profit as costs bite, shares drop 11%
(Reuters) -Cruise operator Carnival on Monday forecast third-quarter profit largely below estimates as rising marketing and labor costs eat into gains from higher ticket prices and strong demand. Carnival has increased marketing spend to attract new customers and gain an edge over its competitors even as it faces elevated labor costs as it adds staff to manage higher occupancy levels and battles higher fuel prices. Chief Financial Officer David Bernstein said a slower-than-expected drop in inflation with respect to port expenses, freight, crew travel has pushed the company to raise its cost outlook.

Saudi Aramco sees 'sound' oil outlook for H2 on China, India demand
KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) -Saudi Aramco believes market fundamentals remain "sound" for the second half as demand from emerging markets led by China and India will offset recession risk in developed markets, CEO Amin Nasser told an industry gathering on Monday. But other executives at the Energy Asia conference in Kuala Lumpur were divided, with Malaysia state oil firm Petronas reporting a slowdown in demand for petroleum and petrochemicals in the second quarter and growing refinery capacity putting pressure on the market. "Overall, we believe that oil market fundamentals remain generally sound for the rest of the year," said Nasser, who heads the world's largest oil company.
