Oil price cap set to be lowered again to $44 but full embargo remains on the table
- The Russian oil price will be lowered from $47.6 to $44 a barrel in January
- EU is pushing for a full maritime services ban before February
- US will not engage further with ‘Biden’s’ price cap, but a full embargo could be supported
If a peace deal is not imminently agreed, the next EU sanctions move is likely to see a full maritime services ban shutting down all finance and insurance to Russian energy shipping and it may also come with US support
