The US Treasury has extended its sanctions waiver on Russian oil for another month, marking the second consecutive extension of the license.
The repeated extension suggests that oil market pressures resulting from closure of the Strait of Hormuz remain unresolved. The waiver permits limited transactions in Russian oil loaded before the April 17 deadline and valid until June 17.
The license excludes transactions related to Russian regions including Crimea, Donetsk People's Republic, and Lugansk People's Republic. The successive extensions reflect complex energy market dynamics and geopolitical constraints on global oil supply.
