US penalties are having a significant impact on Russia
US Sanctions Intensify Pressure on Russian Oil Industry
In October, the Trump administration imposed sanctions on Russia’s leading oil producers, Rosneft and Lukoil. This move was significant for two main reasons. First, it represented the administration’s initial use of sanctions targeting Russia. Second, it greatly increased the risks associated with purchasing Russian oil, as US secondary sanctions could potentially block buyers from accessing Dollar-based payment systems. At the time, I anticipated that the price gap between Urals crude and Brent would grow considerably—and that prediction has come true. The value of Urals oil has dropped even further compared to Brent in percentage terms.

After the Federal Reserve released hawkish signals, Goldman Sachs changed its stance: expects another 25 basis point hike in October
Goldman Sachs’ core rationale for including a rate hike in October as its baseline scenario is that since the Federal Reserve has characterized this hike as a move to "more promptly return" to the 2% target, following up in consecutive meetings is more natural than skipping meetings between hikes. However, Goldman Sachs believes that additional rate hikes beyond two are not part of the baseline scenario, mainly because its own inflation forecasts are lower than the median projections of Federal Reserve members.
