STATEMENT REPORT

Why it matters

ArcelorMittal's joint venture has announced it has stopped buying Russian oil, following reports of crude purchases being transported on sanctioned vessels. This decision is likely to have a positive impact on the market, as it reduces the demand for Russian oil and may increase the demand for alternative sources. The move is also seen as a response to growing concerns over the use of sanctioned vessels in global trade.
