Fundamental Development Oil was up on Thursday morning in Asia, extending gains from the previous session after the European Union (EU) unveiled new sanctions against Russia. Brent oil futures were up 0.35% to $110.53 and WTI futures edged up 0.20% to $108.03. The EU proposal, announced by European Commission President Ursula vonder Leyen, includes phasing out supplies of Russian crude in six months and refined products by the end of 2022. The proposal could also see EU companies banned from offering shipping, brokerage, insurance, and financing services to transport Russian oil in a month’s time. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies (OPEC+) will meet later in the day, where it expected to agree to raise production targets by 432,000 bpd for June 2022, four OPEC+ delegates told Reuters.
