Industry executives and analysts have raised questions about the feasibility of the oil price cap and its enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Wolfram said the authorities will release full guidance on how the Russian oil price cap will be implemented before European Union sanctions on Russian crude exports take effect on Dec. 5.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. officials have said they will consider Russia\u2019s marginal production cost and historical prices before the Ukraine war when setting the price to encourage Russia to continue production.<\/p>\n<p>The price cap will apply to Russian crude oil in every trade, but not refined products that have been produced from Russian crude, Wolfram said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce oil is substantially transformed, then price cap no longer applies,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>If traders benefit from trading these products, it still means that the revenue does not go to Moscow, she added. <\/p>\n<p>Wolfram added that she does not expect China and India to join the coalition formally at the government level as it would not be in their self interest, but said a number of Indian and Chinese companies would find it in their economic interest to continue using trade services provided by G7 countries after the price cap is in place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have talked to some Indian importers who view using Russian insurance as more costly than using UK or Norwegian insurance,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe (U.S.) administration is in close contact with OPEC, who doesn\u2019t like volatility and the idea of big amounts of Russian oil coming off the market, and emphasises that the price cap will only apply to Russia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> (Additional reporting by Emily Chow and Chen Aizhu; Editing by Florence Tan and Jacqueline Wong)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/u-s-official-rules-out\/attachment\/file-photo-oil-tanker-minerva-virgo-is-pictured-docked-at\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8P0A7-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8P0A7-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Muyu Xu SINGAPORE (Reuters) \u2013 A U.S. Treasury official has ruled out secondary sanctions to enforce a price cap mechanism on Russian oil exports despite a proposal last week<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":1889216,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1657685","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_finder_url":"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/business\/u-s-official-rules-out\/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=u-s-official-rules-out","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1657685","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1657685"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1657685\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1889216"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1657685"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1657685"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1657685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
