Global oil, gas prices may rise
According to a Moody’s report, oil and liquified natural gas (LNG) prices could rise sharply as the Russia-Ukraine conflict escalates. This is expected to have an adverse impact on net energy importers like India.
However, the report also added that several Asian countries have a long-term supply contract for LNG, which could offset the impact of rising prices. Meanwhile, the Nifty Oil and Gas Index was flat yesterday.
