Europe’s Unsanctionable Stupidity
The EU is on track to approve its 21st package of sanctions against Russia, featuring new shadow fleet listings, transaction bans, and controversial measures like limits on Russian fish imports. A key driver for the mid-July approval is the need to freeze the current oil price cap before market fluctuations render it obsolete. Despite these efforts, analysts argue that sanctions are failing to suffocate the Russian economy, which is experiencing record real wages and low inflation despite high interest rates.

Oil prices little changed as US-Iran peace efforts hold
Oil prices saw minimal change as peace talks between the U.S. and Iran offered hope for the Strait of Hormuz's reopening. Despite recent skirmishes, a potential deal is expected to hold, boosting Middle Eastern supply. Gulf producers, including Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, are increasing output, leading to a near-term oil glut and a shift in market structure. This increased availability is outpacing demand, particularly from China.
