Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov says that the next round of consultations between Russia and the US may take place before the end of the year; there is no specific agreement on a trilateral meeting on Ukraine, IFX reports Wells Fargo (WFC) CEO says US economic growth continues to be strong, while uncertainty persists due to sticky inflation, Middle East conflict, persistent fiscal deficits and volatile energy markets [MARKET UPDATE] Continued strength in crude benchmarks, with the complex more-or-less erasing earlier losses; a bid which comes amidst another round of escalation between Saudi-Houthis and Iran suggesting an oil tanker caught fire On the Newsquawk feed at 14:24 , 20 minutes before this page. Bilateral US-Russia consultation channels of this kind have historically produced more noise than signal for crude; the market-moving distinction has always been between procedural engagement, which this is, and anything touching sanctions architecture or physical supply. Ryabkov occupies the arms control and bilateral brief rather than the energy file, which points the channel toward diplomatic process rather than barrels, and the explicit absence of agreement on a trilateral Ukraine format confirms there is no ceasefire framework in view, the scenario that would carry the heavier supply-side read-through. Episodes of this kind have tended to fade quickly in oil pricing unless followed by movement on enforcement or waivers, and comments relayed through IFX from the deputy foreign minister level are standard diplomatic housekeeping rather than escalation or breakthrough. The follow-ons that have mattered in comparable sequences are scheduling of the consultations themselves, any shift in tone from the principals rather than deputies, and whether sanctions relief enters the agenda, since that is the transmission line into Russian export flows, freight and insurance costs, and the Urals differential. As it stands this is process, not event risk.
