Australia joins EU in implementing price cap on Russian oil



Australia and G7 nations are joining the European Union in adopting a global price cap on Russian oil.

The price of one barrel will now be capped at US$60.

The cap comes a day before an EU embargo on Russian oil shipped by sea takes effect and a ban on insurance for those supplies.

It’s a key step by G7 nations to prevent a sudden loss in Russian oil, which could lead to a surge in energy prices and further fuel inflation.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has labelled the price cap as “weak” and not “serious” enough.

  2. Our populace and leadership is embarrassingly naive and oblivious in the West. OPEC said it will further cut production after the price ceiling is introduced, which will raise the price even more. We Americans, along with European and you Australian consumers will suffer. Stupid policies both militarily and economically seem to be a habitual preference for us this year.
