In summary:

The well-supplied global oil market minimizes the risk of market disruption from a reduced price cap.

  • Six EU nations, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, advocate for lowering the $60 oil price cap to weaken Russia’s war funding.
  • G7 price caps have not changed since their implementation, while Russian oil prices have stayed below the cap.
  • Ukrainian officials highlight a strong link between oil revenues and Russia’s military aggression.
  • The six EU countries noted that the international oil market is currently well-supplied, reducing the risk of a supply shock from a lower cap. Additionally, they argued that Russia's limited storage capacity and reliance on energy exports mean it would continue selling oil even at lower prices.
