The energy sector is poised for a mixed start, supported by outsized gains across the underlying commodities but pressured by weakness in the major equity futures which fell slightly this morning, reversing much sharper declines earlier, as traders monitor brewing tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
WTI and Brent crude oil futures rebounded this morning following two-straight days of steep declines and rose to their highest since 2014 after Moscow ordered troops into two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine, adding to supply concerns that are pushing prices closer towards the $100 mark. Russia's parliament approved treaties with two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine today, opening the way for immediate Russian troop deployment. The moves come despite Germany putting the certification of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline on ice while the US and EU discussed potential sanctions and as Ukraine reported continued shelling in east Ukraine. The ongoing talking on renewing Iran's nuclear agreement with world powers kept a cap on gains.
Natural gas futures jumped roughly 3% this morning, backed by cold weather forecasts in key consuming regions that should spur demand and a spike in European prices

Will Russia's Ukraine Action Run Oil Prices Up on Tuesday?

Oil last week failed to get a lift from Ukraine tensions, though invasion fears were credited the previous week for driving both the U.S. CLCL00 and global BRN00 benchmarks to seven-year highs not far below the $100-a-barrel threshold. Instead, prospects of a revived Iran nuclear accord, which could eventually lift U.S. sanctions on the country’s crude exports, prompted profit-taking as crude futures ended a streak of eight weekly gains.
In European trade on Monday, Brent crude, BRN00, the global benchmark, rose 2% to settle at $95.39 a barrel on ICE Futures Europe.
With oil prices already at multiyear highs due to misaligned supply/demand dynamics, further tension could mean more upside potentially (north of $100).
Putin orders Russian forces to ‘maintain peace’ in eastern Ukraine

MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered forces Monday to “maintain peace” in separatist regions of eastern Ukraine, hours after the Kremlin recognized the area’s independence. The announcement raised fears that an invasion was imminent, if not already underway.
The Kremlin decree, spelled out in an order signed by Putin, left unclear when, or even whether, troops would enter Ukraine. But it brought swift promises of new sanctions from the U.S. and other Western nations and underscored the steep challenges they face in staving off a military conflict they have portrayed as near-inevitable.
The Kremlin’s announcement came just hours after Putin, in a rambling, fact-bending discourse on European history, recognized the independence of the eastern separatist regions, paving the way to provide them military support and antagonizing Western leaders who regard such a move as a breach of world order.
