BlockBeats2026-09-14 15:09:52U.S. and Brent crude slip as Trump says Russia and Ukraine agreed not to hit energy targetsU.S. crude and Brent crude both fell $1.4 in short-term trading on Sept. 14, according to Bitget market data, with prices quoted at $98.749 a barrel and $104.29 a barrel, respectively. Diesel futures also gave back part of their gains and traded near $5.04 a gallon. On the news side, Trump said Ukraine had agreed to stop striking Russian energy facilities and that Russia had agreed to do the same. If that arrangement is carried out, attacks by both sides on energy infrastructure could ease.

ECB2026-08-27 11:56:40ECB says Middle East and Russia-Ukraine tensions keep upside risks to oil and gas prices elevatedThe European Central Bank said risks to future oil and natural gas prices remain elevated because of geopolitical developments involving the Middle East, Ukraine, and Russia. Minutes published Thursday showed that, while oil prices are still well below recent highs and the futures curve has softened, prices remain well above pre-war levels across the projection horizon. The ECB said this points to persistent increases in oil prices, with risks still tilted to the upside. It also said the recent decline in oil prices has not eased the medium-term inflation path implied by market pricing. At the same time, the central bank said inflation expectations remain anchored. The ECB reiterated that it will continue to deliver on its mandate to maintain price stability and will act in a timely manner to achieve its 2% medium-term inflation target.1120
