- Russia reports a surge in energy supply requests amid a growing global energy crisis. This suggests continued disruption to global energy markets, potentially exacerbating inflationary pressures and weighing on economic growth, which could negatively impact US equities. The shift away from European customers may lead to price volatility and uncertainty.
Investing.com -- The Kremlin said on Tuesday that it has received a huge number of requests for Russian energy supplies from various sources as a global energy crisis intensifies.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that market conditions in the energy sector have completely changed as the world faces a serious economic and energy crisis that is growing daily.
Russia is the world’s second largest oil exporter after Saudi Arabia and holds the world’s largest natural gas reserves.
President Vladimir Putin has suggested switching supplies away from European customers who have repeatedly said they no longer want to buy Russian energy due to the war in Ukraine.
"There are a huge number of requests for the purchase of our energy resources from alternative sources. We are negotiating, we are negotiating in such a way that this situation best suits our interests," Peskov said.
