Falling oil prices threaten to derail Putin’s spending promise
Russian president Vladimir Putin’s spending promises are under threat from falling oil prices that could hurt the savings the Kremlin is tapping to rekindle growth.
The coronavirus outbreak last week pushed Brent crude, the international oil benchmark, down 10 per cent to a year-low of close to $50 a barrel. 
The fall puts prices near Russia’s break-even price of $42 a barrel, threatening to undermine the policy that has helped Moscow run a budget surplus and save $125bn in excess oil and gas revenue in a national wealth fund since 2017. Facing a fall in living standards that pushed his approval ratings to record lows, Mr Putin pledged in January to spend Rbs4tn ($60bn) on infrastructure and social spending as part of sweeping changes that could allow him to remain in power.

I mellomtiden er det jo ganske åpenbart at noen har en tung labb på oljeprisen intradag med den fine effekten at det fillerister aksjonærer i alle mulige selskap.
