February 13th - According to Politico, six European officials stated that they do not expect the Munich Security Conference to achieve much substantial progress in ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Two European officials and a senior US official revealed that the US has made it clear to Ukraine that it will not finalize a security guarantees agreement before a general agreement is reached. However, the peace process is stalled due to territorial disputes. A senior government official stated that President Trump is not attempting to use the agreement as leverage to pressure Zelensky. The official stated, "Trump wants to finalize and implement many things before actually signing, not just sign for the sake of signing, which would hinder subsequent peace negotiations." Another source familiar with the matter said that the US, Russia, and Ukraine plan to meet again next week, possibly in Miami or Abu Dhabi, where the US believes any substantial progress is more likely to occur.February 13th - On February 12th, Ling Ji, Vice Minister of Commerce and Deputy Representative for International Trade Negotiations, chaired a roundtable meeting with German-invested enterprises.

The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) price is unchanged on Tuesday amid a weaker US Dollar and muted risk sentiment. WTI fell to a low of $72.31 on Monday as a result of a strong risk-off environment sparked by the repercussions from Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Banks. Since then, the WTI price has risen significantly as a result of the Federal Reserve's plan to intervene. After reaching a peak of approximately $76 on Monday, the WTI price retreated as the dynamics of the US Dollar shifted.

 

The financial system is being harmed by rising borrowing costs around the world and growth concerns are being raised. The WTI price is in a corrective decline as the narrative of China's reopening does not appear optimistic, as the country has lowered its growth forecast to 5.0%.

 

The SVB debacle exacerbates global growth concerns, as it is interpreted as the first of many financial system dings. Due to rising financing costs, businesses are struggling to make their repayments, which will eventually result in a decline in demand.

 

Despite tightened production and numerous voluntary cuts from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), the WTI price is struggling to surpass $80.

 

Oil prices are influenced by a number of variables, including the US dollar, inflation, OPEC, and global growth concerns. Considering the aforementioned factors, it is difficult to rationalize the directional nature of oil prices, but it appears that the oil market is primarily driven by development concerns.

 

Since these nations are struggling to maintain oil prices above the desired $80 mark, it will also be crucial to monitor the OPEC position on reduced oil prices.
