US and EU officials solemnly announced - they came up with a reasonable mechanism that would not create a global crisis, but will not allow Russia to make money on oil! Russian oil will be sold in the market-but the aggressor country will receive a minimum of money for it! And they installed the ceiling for $ 60. I even then wrote that I could not believe that officials would win "animal instincts of the market".
Well, - Bloomberg summarizes this struggle - and writes that a full pour has come out. The main reason for this conclusion is that sanctions have just been imposed, the discount of Russian oil Urals to the world price Brent was $ 40 per barrel, and now only 10 and seeks zero.
And this despite the fact that the price of Barrel has increased greatly - and Russian companies became easier to give a discount! Why? Many strange companies bought a lot of tankers - very old ones - which at the usual time were cut into metal somewhere in Bangladesh - and now they swim. And the fact that they are very old and often switch off transponders (many of them swim without insurance) - simply creates, according to Bloomberg, a huge risk of accident.
Oil will pour into the sea - no one will pay for the elimination of consequences (but there are no insurance) - and the world will only be very bad. Fish, dolphins, corals will be killed - Greta will turn out and say that the world's capitalists again . . . and these sanctions will simply be canceled in a panic. And even many carry with insurance, because the buyer should simply give paper with the signature of an insurance company - that bought Russian oil cheaper than $ 60. per barrel.
Given that almost all these trading companies were created in 23 years-of course, it is easy for them to sign any paper. And, as Bloomberg writes, no one ever checks these documents. Because officials - it is important for them to just tell them.
