On Nov. 23 crude markets were pulled between two dominant narratives: diplomatic moves over the Ukraine conflict (including European proposals to shape a peace pathway) which could alter Russia's sanctioned export profile, and near-term OPEC+ supply commentary that hinted at potential modest production adjustments. The tug-of-war left oil curves and volatility sensitive to each new leak or official statement, with traders quick to adjust hedges and forward positions. The dynamic underscores how geopolitical negotiations and producer policy interact to set energy risk premia, influencing energy equities, exporter sovereign revenues and related FX flows.
