About this episode

This year, the US, alongside G7 countries, placed a price cap on Russian-grade refined product at $100/b. This marked another set of sanctions designed to shrink Russia's influence on global oil markets. Following the Feb. 5 price cap, disruptions have been seen in both the clean tanker market and the Americas diesel market. 

In this Oil Markets episode, S&P Global Commodity Insights' shipping, diesel, and Latin America refined products experts Eugenia Romero, Jordan Daniel and Maria Jimenez Moya sit down to discuss the current landscape and recent changes to these trade flows.
