Crude oil prices also reversed earlier losses, with Brent \u2014 the international benchmark \u2014 rising 1 per cent to $94 a barrel.<\/p>\n<p>Russia is one of the world\u2019s largest suppliers of diesel and a leading producer of crude. Its crude exports have already been trimmed under a deal with Saudi Arabia and the wider Opec+ group, which has contributed to a 30 per cent jump in oil prices since June.<\/p>\n<p>Market participants are concerned that Russia is moving to tighten oil supply at a time when central banks are struggling to get inflation under control, and with crude prices potentially poised to break above $100 a barrel for the first time in 13 months. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cRussia wants to inflict pain on Europe and the US and it looks like they\u2019re now repeating the playbook from gas in the oil market ahead of the winter months \u2014 they\u2019re showing that they\u2019re not finished using their power over energy markets,\u201d said Henning Gloystein at Eurasia Group.<\/p>\n<p>The Kremlin said the ban was \u201ctemporary\u201d and designed to address rising energy prices in Russia, but gave no timeframe for when the measures would end and carved out only limited exceptions such as its own overseas military bases.<\/p>\n<p>Russia\u2019s increased supply cuts to Europe after its full-scale invasion of Ukraine last year helped to trigger a global energy crisis, stoking inflation and harming industries and consumers around the world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRussia said last year the supply cuts in gas were only temporary but continually tightened the noose,\u201d Gloystein said. \u201cWith winter approaching targeting diesel could easily propel oil back above $100 a barrel, with all the uncomfortable ramifications that brings for the world economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Moscow framed the diesel and petrol export ban on Thursday as a move designed to resupply domestic markets, the timing will raise suspicions in western capitals that Russian president Vladimir Putin is again moving to weaponise energy markets.<\/p>\n<p>Diesel is the workhorse fuel of the global economy, playing a crucial role in freight, transportation and aviation. Derivatives of diesel such as heating oil are particularly susceptible to winter price surges. Germany and the north-east of the US are both heavily reliant on the fuel for heating homes.<\/p>\n<p>Diesel and petrol markets are already relatively tight because of rising demand and refinery maintenance over the summer, with pump prices becoming a growing issue for US president Joe Biden and other leaders.<\/p>\n<p>Russia is the world\u2019s second-largest seaborne exporter of diesel after the US, according to Kpler, a freight data analytics company, and before its invasion of Ukraine was the single biggest diesel exporter to the EU.<\/p>\n<p>The EU and US have largely banned imports of Russian refined fuel since February, forcing Moscow to reroute its sales to Turkey and countries in north Africa and Latin America.<\/p>\n<p>The G7 advanced economies have also tried to impose a price cap on Russian oil sales, while western countries have increased diesel imports from India and the Middle East. <\/p>\n<p>But Russian refined fuel sales, particularly diesel, remain a critical part of oil supplies. In August Russia exported more than 30mn barrels of diesel and gas-oil \u2014 a diesel proxy \u2014 by sea, according to Kpler.<\/p>\n<p>Russia is a smaller exporter of petrol, exporting only 90,000 seaborne barrels a day in August, Kpler added.<\/p>\n<p>Petrol prices in Russia have risen sharply too, stoking inflation that Putin has called \u201cthe main problem\u201d for the Russian economy this week.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main factors boosting Russian petrol exports had been the depreciation of the rouble, which has fallen in recent months, making exports more attractive for fuel producers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/5f07bec3-c219-4223-a4ab-7597c1a87e26\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Receive free Energy sector updates We\u2019ll send you a myFT Daily Digest email rounding up the latest Energy sector news every morning.
