El 24 de febrer, el preu internacional del petroli va superar una vegada els 100 per barril, i després l'augment es va reduir.
In terms of oil prices, the situation in Russia and Ukraine has caused concerns about the supply prospects of the international crude oil market. International oil prices exceeded the 100 per barrel mark, with New York crude oil futures prices rising by more than 9 percent in the day, and Brent crude oil futures prices rising by more than 7 percent . But U.S. President Joe Biden has since said that the U.S. will release more oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) "if conditions permit." The news caused oil prices to retreat, and at the close, April crude oil futures in New York rose 0.77 percent , while Brent crude oil futures rose 2.31 percent .
