Oil falls as OPEC+ proceeds with September output increase
LONDON, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Oil prices fell to their lowest in a week on Monday after OPEC+ agreed to another large output increase in September, though traders remained wary of further sanctions on Russia. Brent crude futures fell $1.17, or 1.7%, to $68.50 a barrel by 1127 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude declined $1.26, or 1.9%, to $66.07. Both contracts lost about $2 on Friday. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, together known as OPEC+, agreed on Sunday to raise oil production by 547,000 barrels per day (bpd) for September. The latest in a series of accelerated output increases aimed at capturing market share was in line with market expectations and marks a full and early reversal of the group's largest tranche of output cuts, amounting to about 2.5 million bpd, or about 2.4% of global demand. Oil prices are under pressure because of the OPEC+ decision, said PVM analyst Tamas Varga, adding that potential discussions to unwind a further 1.65 million bpd of cuts added to the downside price pressure. Analysts at Goldman Sachs expect that the actual increase in supply from the eight OPEC+ countries that have raised output since March will be 1.7 million bpd because other members have cut output after overproducing. Investors also continued to digest the impact of the latest U.S. tariffs on exports from dozens of trading partners and remain wary of further U.S. sanctions on Russia. U.S. President Trump has threatened to impose 100% secondary tariffs on Russian crude buyers as he seeks to pressure Moscow into halting its war in Ukraine. "In the medium term, oil prices will be shaped by a mix of tariffs and geopolitics. Any price jump triggered by energy sanctions is expected to be ephemeral," PVM's Varga said. At least two vessels loaded with Russian oil bound for refiners in India have diverted to other destinations after new U.S. sanctions, trade sources said on Friday and LSEG trade flows showed. About 1.7 million bpd of crude supply will be at risk if Indian refiners stop buying Russian oil, ING analysts wrote. However, two Indian government sources told Reuters on Saturday that the country will keep purchasing oil from Russia despite Trump's threats.

Top Trump aide says India financing Putin's war in Ukraine by buying Russian oil
A top aide to Donald Trump accused India of aiding Vladimir Putin 's war in Ukraine by purchasing Russian oil as tensions between New Delhi and Washington soared over ties with Moscow. India is lately facing relentless American pressure over its relations with Russia, a longstanding defence and trade partner. Just last week, Mr Trump threatened New Delhi with unspecified penalties over and above a new 25 per cent import tariff for buying oil and weapons from Russia. Mr Trump, who had listed ending the war in Ukraine a top priority for his second presidential term, has been threatening sanctions on countries trading with Moscow after accusing Mr Putin of stalling ceasefire talks. The US president has also resumed sending weapons to Ukraine. Mr Trump is threatening to impose a 100 per cent tariff on exports to the US from any nation purchasing Russian oil in defiance of Western sanctions unless Moscow agrees a peace deal with Ukraine and ends the war. 'What he said very clearly is that it is not acceptable for India to continue financing this war by purchasing the oil from Russia,' White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller told Fox News, referring to the US president. "People will be shocked to learn that India is basically tied with China in purchasing Russian oil. That's an astonishing fact." Mr Miller's remarks constitute Washington's strongest criticism yet of one of its key partners in the Indo-Pacific. 'India portrays itself as being one of our closest friends in the world, but they don't accept our products. They impose massive tariffs on us,' he said. 'We also know they engage in a lot of cheating on immigration policies that is very harmful to American workers.' The White House aide said Mr Trump sought a 'tremendous relationship' with India and its leader Narendra Modi but 'we need to get real about dealing with the financing of this war'. 'All options are on the table, to deal diplomatically, financially and otherwise with the ongoing war in Ukraine so we can achieve peace,' Mr Miller said. Russia is the leading oil supplier to India, the world's third-largest consumer of the commodity, accounting for some 35 per cent of its imports. Russia exported nearly 1.75 million barrels of oil to India per day between January and June this year, a rise of about one per cent from a year ago, Reuters reported. And despite Mr Trump's threats, Indian officials said the country would keep purchasing oil from Russia. 'These are long-term oil contracts," a government source told Reuters on Saturday. "It is not so simple to just stop buying overnight.' Justifying oil purchases from Russia, another official said India's imports from Russia helped avoid a global surge in prices, which remained subdued despite Western curbs on the Russian oil sector. Unlike Iranian and Venezuelan oil, Russian crude is not subject to direct sanctions and India is buying it below the current price cap fixed by the European Union, the official told Reuters.
