Oil prices fell on Nov. 26, recording their third straight weekly losses, amid anticipation of talks about ceiling Russia’s oil prices.
The European Union decided to postpone talks on setting a ceil for Russia’s oil prices, due to disagreements between member states, Bloomberg reported.
Some European countries, such as Poland, refused to set a ceiling for Russia’s oil prices near $65, as it guarantees robust revenues for the Russian government. Meanwhile, other countries, such as Greece, do not approve setting a ceil below this level.
