Oil prices gain as U.S. inventory withdrawals point to strong demand
Oil prices gained slightly on Thursday as larger-than-expected declines crude oil and fuel inventories in the U.S., the world's biggest oil user, supported expectations for steady demand. Brent crude futures were up 13 cents, or 0.19%, to $66.97 a barrel at 0055 GMT, after gaining 1.6% in the previous session. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures rose 15 cents, or 0.24%, to $62.86, after climbing 1.4% on Wednesday. U.S. crude inventories fell by 6 million barrels last week to 420.7 million barrels, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said on Wednesday, versus analysts' expectations in a Reuters poll for a 1.8 million-barrel draw. Gasoline stocks dropped by 2.7 million barrels, versus expectations for a 915,000-barrel draw, the EIA said, indicating steady driving demand during the summer travel season. That was also seen in a jump in the four-week average for jet fuel consumption to its highest since 2019. "Crude oil prices rebounded as signs of strong demand in the U.S. boosted sentiment," Daniel Hynes, senior commodity strategist at ANZ, said in a note on Thursday. Still, Hynes cautioned that some "bearish sentiment remains evident as traders continue to monitor negotiations to end Russia's war against Ukraine." Russia said on Wednesday attempts to resolve security issues relating to Ukraine without Moscow's participation were a "road to nowhere," as U.S. and European military planners have begun exploring post-conflict security guarantees for Ukraine. The drawn-out efforts to secure peace in Ukraine mean that Western sanctions on Russian oil supply continue to remain in place. The possibility of further U.S. sanctions and tariffs on Russian oil buyers also hang over the market. Russia, however, remains adamant it will keep providing crude to willing buyers, with Russian diplomats in India saying on Wednesday the country expects to continue supplying oil to India despite warnings from the U.S. U.S. President Donald Trump has announced an additional tariff of 25% on Indian goods from August 27 because of their Russian crude purchases. The European Union has also sanctioned Indian private refiner Nayara Energy, which is backed by Russian oil company Rosneft. Indian refiners initially backed off their Russian buying but company officials at state-run Indian Oil and Bharat Petroleum have bought Russian oil for September and October delivery, resuming purchases after discounts widened.

Russia is dragging on peace in Ukraine – Trump must pressure Putin where it hurts to stop the killing once and for all
President Trump has shifted into high gear to seal a peace deal in Ukraine, putting together a quick summit with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin in Alaska, then just three days later gathering European leaders in the White House. Putin has repaid his efforts by dragging his feet. Russia won't even commit to meetings between Putin and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky. Advertisement Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, the Kremlin's attack dog, blasts Europe and downplays diplomatic efforts. Meetings can only happen if conditions are met — which are usually impossible — and any promises by the West to protect Ukraine without a Russian veto are 'a road to nowhere.' Meanwhile, the killing continues. Advertisement The weekend after Alaska, Russia killed 14 Ukrainian civilians. After the Monday meeting between Trump and Zelensky, Russia fired 270 drones and 10 missiles — the most this month. The bombardment has only ramped up since then. End the killing Trump wants it all to stop. Advertisement He cares about human life, he cares about the children, he even talks about the impact this war has on his soul. 'If I can save 7,000 people a week from being killed, I think that's pretty — I want to try to get to heaven if possible, I'm hearing that I'm not doing well. I am really at the bottom of the totem pole,' he said. 'But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons.' This is a noble goal — even a Nobel one — but it is unachievable unless Putin is forced to the table. Advertisement The pressure on Ukraine is implicit — it needs the United States' backing. But what is the pressure on Russia? You'd think it was the high death toll, the 1 million casualties it has endured, but Putin doesn't care about the damage he's doing to his own people. He claims it is a necessary sacrifice. No, the only language Putin understands is financial. The Russian economy is already feeling the strain from massive war spending, rapid inflation and sanctions. Passing secondary sanctions, hitting Putin in the side markets he uses to fund his war machine, is what will force him to the negotiating table. Advertisement It was the threat of such sanctions by Trump on Aug. 8 that convinced Putin to agree to the Alaska summit. But in the time since then, all Putin has done is tapped us along. Enough time has passed. You understand, Mr. President, that strength sends a message. Advertisement Increase sanctions. Increase tariffs. Find creative ways to end his trade in oil and minerals. Advertisement That will get Moscow's attention quickly. It will get Putin moving at the speed you are. And it will, God willing, stop the killing.

JD Vance says Russia wants territory that's under Ukraine's control
Advertisement President Donald Trump is stepping up his push to bring Russia's war against Ukraine — now in its fourth year — to an end. Trump held a summit in Alaska with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week and talks at the White House with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European allies on Monday. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Vance said he thought a meeting between the Russian and Ukrainian leaders could help move the negotiations forward on their goals. 'That is really where the meat of the negotiation is,' Vance said. 'The Ukrainians want security guarantees. The Russians want a certain amount of territory.' The US is working to set up that bilateral meeting, but a time and place have not been determined. Trump has said that if that meeting goes well, he'll look to follow up with a trilateral summit with Putin and Zelensky. Advertisement Vance told Ingraham that he has spoken to Putin over the phone 'a number of times,' and described him as 'more soft-spoken than you would necessarily expect.' 'The American media has a particular image of him,' Vance said. 'He's very deliberate. He's very careful.'
