Quick Glance: US Imposes Sanctions on Russian Metals at Exchanges
- The US and UK imposed new restrictions on trading Russian aluminum, copper, and nickel that will impact global metal markets, aiming to limit President Vladimir Putin’s ability to fund his war efforts.
- The rules ban the delivery of new supplies from Russia to the London Metal Exchange and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. While non-US entities can still buy physical Russian metals, the restrictions are expected to influence prices on the LME, a key benchmark in global contracts.
- The sanctions will also affect traders' handling of Russian metal, potentially leading to discounts compared to other sources. The move aims to reduce Russia's earnings while avoiding broad sanctions on crucial metals. Russian metals exports were valued at $25 billion in 2022 and $15 billion in 2023.
- The restrictions aim to prevent market disruptions seen in past sanctions and mark a significant shift in the metal supply chain dynamics. Palladium and titanium, major Russian-supplied metals, are not subject to these restrictions.

Iran oil exports hit 6-year high as west prepares sanctions: Surge in crude sales to China exposes limits of US and EU attempts to rein in Islamic republic
ft.com/content/00bb5653-e9aa-4af1-8f9e-705137947b32
Quick Glance: Iran's Oil Exports Thrive Amid Rising Tensions
- Iran is exporting more oil than in the past six years, providing the economy with a $35 billion annual boost, as western countries consider tightening sanctions in response to the attack on Israel.
- The US and the EU are preparing new sanctions on the Islamic republic to deter conflict escalation with Israel, facing challenges due to Iran's successful circumvention of sanctions, especially with China being its primary customer.
- Iran has found ways to bypass sanctions, shielded from western pressure as its main oil exports go to China. Tensions have escalated since the Hamas attack on Israel, driving oil prices up by over 15%, while US efforts to sanction individual tankers carrying Iranian oil have had minimal impact so far.
- Mounting Republican pressure urges the Biden administration to take tougher action on Iran's oil sales, with criticism over perceived leniency on existing measures. Despite US strategic oil reserves being released to stabilize prices, concerns remain over the administration's stance on enforcing sanctions similar to the previous Trump administration.

ft.com/content/85a4e5b9-c536-4bfb-8dee-32bbed60311e
Quick Glance: US to Reinstate Sanctions on Venezuela’s Oil and Gas Sector
- The United States will reimpose sanctions on Venezuela’s oil and gas sector due to the Maduro government's failure to allow 'an inclusive and competitive election' to take place.
- The US government decided not to renew the temporary authorization (General License 44) that allowed transactions with Venezuela's national oil and gas sector without fear of sanctions, citing the Maduro government's failure to uphold key areas of the 'Barbados Agreement.'
- While the impact of revoking the authorization could not be quantified, another authorization from 2022 allowing the oil company Chevron to resume limited resource extraction operations in Venezuela will remain in place.
- Despite reinstating sanctions, a US official emphasized that this should not be seen as a final decision on Venezuela's electoral capabilities, and efforts to support a better future for the country will continue.

ft.com/content/4cca756f-a9ad-486a-aa9f-af67b19071ec
Quick Glance: Boeing Whistleblower Calls for Grounding All 787 Dreamliners
- A whistleblower from Boeing is pressing for the grounding of all 787 Dreamliners currently in operation worldwide, as the long-haul aircraft could potentially 'fall apart' at the joints.
- Sam Salehpour, a quality engineer at Boeing, publicly expressed concerns about the Boeing 787 and 777 jets last week. In an exclusive TV interview with NBC Nightly News, Salehpour reiterated his allegations and called for all Dreamliners to be taken out of service and inspected for small gaps in the fuselage.
- He alleges that Boeing opted for cost-saving shortcuts and reduced assembly bottlenecks during the construction of the 787 and 777 jets. Salehpour warns that the fuselage sections of the 787 Dreamliner are improperly connected, with small gaps present at the joints.
- Following internal discussions with Boeing where he claimed aircraft safety was compromised, the engineer filed a formal whistleblower complaint with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in January. Boeing, however, maintains confidence in the safety of the 787 Dreamliner, stating that the allegations 'are inaccurate and do not represent the comprehensive work Boeing has done to ensure the quality and long-term safety of the aircraft.'
