Oil Futures Rally Amid Geopolitical Tensions and EU Sanctions Debate
Oil Futures Rally Amid Geopolitical Tensions and EU Sanctions Debate

Oil futures surged nearly 2% on Tuesday, breaking a four-day decline as geopolitical rhetoric intensified. Former President Trump's UN address accused NATO members of indirectly financing Russia's war efforts through continued energy purchases. "China and India are primary funders," he stated, while criticizing NATO's "inexcusable" reliance on Russian hydrocarbons.
The EU's potential escalation of sanctions looms large over markets. A complete halt to Russian oil imports WOULD tighten global supply, with traders already pricing in reduced availability. Though European dependence has plummeted from 29% in 2021 to just 2% by mid-2025, the bloc remains energy-vulnerable. Proposed gas import bans signal further market disruptions ahead.
