Russian crude oil embargo

President Biden has banned US imports of Russian oil, natural gas and coal, in the latest response to the Ukrainian invasion. US imports of Russian energy are relatively low. With gasoline prices already at record levels, Biden said they would continue to rise, blaming Russia.

The UK said it would ban Russian crude, but over a period of several months. The European Union, which uses a lot of Russian energy, is not declaring a ban, but said it aims to cut two-thirds of Russian gas imports by the end of the year. That may be ambitious, with many member states reluctant to take steps that would raise energy costs further.

However, these moves and public protests may spur more “self-punishment” by potential buyers, traders and shippers. Russian crude struggled to find buyers. pioneer oil seashells (shillHe apologized Tuesday for buying some Russian crude last week at a steep discount, saying it would end all spot purchases of Russian oil.

On the other hand, Putin said that Russia will ban imports and exports of many goods until December 31, but no actual items have been disclosed so far. In addition to oil and natural gas, Russia is an important supplier of nickel, palladium and some other major raw materials.

Crude oil prices rose above $129 a barrel on the day in anticipation of the Russian crude oil embargo, trimming gains after Biden’s actual announcement, and then rallying again after Putin’s export decree. US crude closed up 3.6 percent to $123.70 a barrel.

It was a busy day for many shale operators as well. CPE stock rose to a record high of 66.12, and then fell to 56.81. Callon Petroleum finally stabilized with a gain of 0.5% at 60.98.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

Russia continues to bomb major Ukrainian cities, with shells once again halting civilian evacuations along designated humanitarian corridors.

In another step to counter Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Poland says it is ready to deliver its Soviet-era MiG-29 fighter jets to the United States at Ramstein Air Base in Germany. The idea is for the US to hand those planes over to Ukraine, whose pilots know the MiGs, and give F-16s or other planes to Poland in return.

However, the Defense Ministry said Tuesday night that flights from a US base in Germany to Ukraine raise “serious NATO concerns,” apparently raising concern that this could cross a red line with Russia. The United States is likely to prefer the transfer of land ownership from Poland to Ukraine. Members of Congress are already objecting to the Pentagon’s position.

The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday evening that Slovakia is considering a similar swap.

Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said the United States may impose sanctions on Chinese companies that help Russia, in defiance of the sanctions.

Market Rise Analysis

An attempt to rally in the stock market came close to failure on Tuesday, then signaled that this might happen Follow-up day Moderately before closing.

The recovery came as major indexes, especially the Nasdaq, approached their February 24th lows. In many ways, Tuesday’s events seemed like another bottom day, like January 28 or February 24.

Major indices remain well below where they closed on February 24, and below the 10-day moving average. The highs recorded by the current rally on 3 March are even higher. Reaching this level could also mean retaking the 21-day moving average, which has served as resistance for the past several months. Beyond that there are several key levels.

On the downside, the major indexes don’t have to drop much before breaking below their February 24th lows. They each hit new multi-month lows on Tuesday.

The market is still largely news driven. Regardless of the technical picture of major indices and stocks, positive or negative headlines related to Ukraine’s invasion of Russia have the potential to cause immediate positive and negative repercussions. Biden’s ban on crude oil in Russia and Putin’s decision to ban exports are just two recent examples.

Major sectors, stocks

Energy stocks rose and fell while fertilizer and steel stocks fell. Rail operators sold, having seemed to promise to start the week. Health insurance companies are still reasonably resilient.

A lot of the tech slumped had strong sessions, but as with the general market, it’s hard to tell if this was more than a one-day bounce. Tesla stock rose 2.5% to 824.40, but hit resistance near the 200-day line. While holding better than all other EV Toys or ARK-type stocks, TSLA stock is still below the 21-day streak and well below its February highs in the short term.

Nvidia stock rose 0.8% to 215.14, but far from session highs and after hitting a five-month low on the day. Stocks are still well below the 200 day streak.

The next clear upside in the market could come tomorrow, next week, or months from now. But don’t expect, get ready. Keep working on those watchlists.
