Oil headed for its longest run of monthly gains in more than a decade as European Union leaders agreed to pursue a partial ban on imports from Russia and China further eased anti-virus curbs, aiding demand.
European Union leaders agreed to pursue a ban that would halt the imports of most Russian oil, in a move designed to hit the country’s coffers and pave the way for a sixth package of sanctions to punish it and President Vladimir Putin for the invasion of Ukraine.
Leaders of the European Union on Monday agreed in principle to slash nearly 90% of oil imports from Russia by the end of the year, in the bloc’s harshest sanctions yet on Moscow since the Ukraine conflict started three months ago.
