a global benchmark by investigates how oil is traded and why russia is finding it difficult to establish its its own market. oil is usually priced in barrels the measurement itself originates from the eight hundred sixty s. when the early pennsylvania oil field produces were forced to store oil in barrels usually meant for b. or turpentine. the cost of a barrel which is equal to one hundred fifty nine liters is dependent on a number of factors supply and demand and speculation but it's also determined by the quality of the air with certain blends commanding a premium over others who have different discounts and premium self one grant to another that really depends upon multiples of factors starting we in the cost of transportation quality of course itself to the specific so for a finding of this or that crude and also to the demand in the so that region where

the scope crude can go most oil traded usually uses two main benchmarks west texas intermediate and brant blend both of which are considered among the sweetest crudes this is despite the fact that there are more than two hundred blends in the world many of these however have high sulfur content making them salad blends and therefore harder to refine. with the north sea oil fields reaching the end of their life and with it the grandstanded new of len's such as russia's euros blend all the e.s.p.n. pipeline blend are increasingly becoming the standard by which others adjudged russia has become the world's biggest oil exporter and many believe the time has come for the country to establish its own international trading platform rather than leaving it to the u.s. the u.k. and singapore yes there are many if we had our own stock exchange where we could trade or oil i think the firstly we could trade not only in u.s. dollars but also in rubles especially c.i.s.

countries amount of this and i mean we are talking about. becoming a major trading currency or even a reserve currency or with this can only be done if the ruble is fixed to serious material resources such as gold oil and gas. the urals blame currently trades at a two dollar distilled to brant yet many believe this is an unfounded discount one which could be raised through the establishment of the local oil exchange but for now russia is still happy to trade through the existing channels analysts agree that both the market regulators and industry players here still need to learn from the oil trading heavyweights in london and new york before attempting to shift the balance of trading power in. the business. now let's have a look at how the equity markets are shaping up european shares are on the up on monday they have been given a list by new moves from the bank of japan to add liquidity to its economy and that
