The India - US agreement will reduce the consumption capacity of Russian oil by 1 million barrels per day and increase the purchase of compliant oil, which will tighten the non - sanctioned oil market and support international oil prices. The rebound in crude oil prices has driven up the FU and LU futures prices.
