> The Russian Finance Ministry expects Brent crude prices, which surged this year amid the Middle East situation and supply disruptions, to gradually fall to $60-$70 per barrel in 2027-2029. It said short-term prices will depend on the recovery of Middle Eastern oil exports and the rebuilding of global inventories after the conflict.
