Russia's Novak: There is demand for Russian energy despite sanctions

  • Novak says it would be better for Russia to cut production than to agree on price caps
  • Sees huge underinvestment in oil industry globally
  • EU embargo could lead to price jump in oil products in Europe

No surprises to see Russia sticking to its guns but Novak isn't entirely wrong. At the end of the day, the market is a function of supply and demand so while price caps are seemingly working to alleviate pressures on consumption, a boost in demand will keep prices underpinned indirectly.
