embargo in iran doesn't it that's absolutely true we've seen the one hundred dollars per barrel for brantmilestone breached last hour now it's more than one hundred and one let's take a look at the actually what's happening nymex and brant crude are up more than three dollars you can see that brant one zero one zero five and this is of course not only because iran yesterday saying that is drafting a deal to block the strait of hormuz which is the an essential strait supplying oil for the middle east region but also the fact that iran is now going ahead reportedly with military drills this is just basically increasing anxiety about supplies from the region in general and therefore we see these high oil prices of course but experts have been telling us russia in this situation cannot increase production the factor because it's kind of at the maximum level already but the fact that it's shifting its focus towards asia is giving it potentially a market advantage. russia is exporting more oil to the far east through a new pipeline to a part of the world which is relied heavily on a rainy and t

options brand that's where people are going to be putting their money just you know fundamentally brant crude is better than euros for some characteristic so fruity this cause it is so on so it's just lighter there causes some premium for brand historically but in reality for refineries. they should add some gas going to said enough to two euros and make it like right now aside from which is better i mean can russia provide more if there's more demand of it can it supply more oil marginally i don't think the problem is number first expert capacities they're used almost one hundred percent at least those capacities which are headed to you are here and the second is that our production capacity is limited we don't have like sodium we don't have a spare capacity for production historically and right now it's the true as well russian companies produce as much as they can't every single moment. well as to how the russian markets are performing right now the russian government says that the economy grew four percent in the second quarter of the year that support the first days in the recessio

back to the business desk daniel bushell now joins us and russian oil becomes more expensive than brant what's happening yes western oil companies have started buying the so-called you are all. iranian oil is the yours price soaring iran oil output sliding as we can see from the graphic here with many of tehran's customers turning now to russia as a reliable replacement greaves explains. discuss the price this week in the spike in new rules blend joined by alexander and as our of oil and gas analysts from gas from. now nice to meet you how long do you think this good fortune for us can last. one so you wouldn't last for long like it was before but i think these time it could be different because the reason for that is different and what's the reason for it well unlikely last times when it was some one offs like shadow seaboard because of some storm these timely zimbardo full run which will last for months maybe years but soon as that embargo is over then surely the more options brand that's why people are going to be putting their money just you know fundamentally brant crude is better

you all doing is it having a crucial milestone again that's right one hundred dollars per barrel for brantis what we're seeing right now it's been approaching about mark for quite a while now it's up above as you can see hundred dollars twenty seven cents for brant lights readers also gaining more than two and a half dollars per barrel this is as news is coming not only about a draft bill on the blocking of the strait of hormuz which was kind of not really worrying investors in the previous session but they were pretty much ignoring that but news that reports basically that the military drills have been taking place with missiles from iran potentially hitting as far as israel through these drills this is of course worrying worrying investors a lot creating a lot of ten. inside the region now what we're seeing also is that russia is benefiting very much from these high oil prices and the fact that it has been shifting its focus towards asian countries also giving it a market advantage let's listen to an expert. russia's exporting more oil to the far east through a new pipeline to parts of t

let us actually take a look at those figures both crude and brant are up more than three dollars perbarrel light sweet they're approaching eighty eight dollars per barrel this is on the back of course of fresh concerns as you've rightly said. about iran and the new reports of military drills and that's causing worries about sustainability of supplies from the region in general and this is has been very much supporting the russian market today and i. analysts say that even though russia will not be able to compensate for any potential disruptions in world supplies because it's already producing at peak levels its recent shift towards asia is going to give it eventually a market by. russia is exporting more oil to the far east through a new pipeline to parts of the world which is rely heavily on a rainy unoiled and there is a potential the russian oil heading to the far east will gain market share from the iranians and that might be a permanent shift if purchases such as japan korea and and china switched increasingly to taking more russian oil so there might be a permanent benefit fro

will last for months maybe years but soon as that goes over then surely the more purple option is brant that's why people are going to be putting their money just you know fundamentally brant crude is better than euros for some characteristic so fruity scores it is so and so is just lighter their causes. premium for brand historically but in reality for refineries. they should add some gas going to certain after two year olds and make it like right now aside from which is better i mean can russia provide more if it's if it if there's more demand of it can it supply more oil marginally i don't think the problem is number first expert capacities they're used almost one hundred percent at least those capacities which are headed to you are in the us and the second is that our production capacity is limited we don't have like we don't have a spare capacity for production historically and right now it's the true as well russian companies produce as much as they can't every single moment. let's head on into wall street then and see. the stocks are indeed still rising but what's happening is in

that's why people are going to be putting their money just you know fundamentally brant crude is better than euros for some characteristic so fruity this cause it here so and so is just lighter their causes. premium brand historically but in reality four refineries is. enough to to you all sound make it. now aside from which is better can russia provide more . if there's more demand of it can it supply more oil marginally i don't think solve the problem is. extra capacities they're used almost one hundred percent at least. capacities which are headed to you or you and the second is that our production capacity is limited we don't have like sodium and we don't have a spare capacity for production historically and right now it's the true as well russian companies produce as much as they can't every single moment. ok so to conclude kevin disappointing economic data across the board and the markets are rallying let's see what it does now with and sure it will make it a day there and thanks for that kate in our exclusive interview coming up very shortly here in r t tonight with paraguay's ne
