Russian oil exports: G7 sanctions take effect

Available for over a year

Oil prices are up today as the Group of Seven's $60 cap takes effect. Meanwhile, oil producers' group Opec+ said at the weekend it would stick to its policy of reducing output. Also weighing on oil prices is China's signal of a broader relaxation of Covid restrictions after another small protest in the country, this time from students. They are calling for a more transparent process in the formulation of pandemic rules. (Picture: A tanker ship moving on the sea. Credit: Getty Images.)
