  Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky day-tripped to Washington, DC, yesterday for his first foreign visit since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began. Zelensky skipped Georgetown Cupcake, but he did meet with President Biden and addressed Congress, thanking “every American” for their support.

• Energy Sector Commentary for Thursday

  The energy sector is off to a higher start, supported by strength in the crude complex but weakness in the broader equity futures is keeping a cap on sentiment. The major averages are set to open in negative territory following the release of U.S. jobs data that came in hotter than expected.

  
  

  WTI and Brent crude oil are higher for the fourth-consecutive day amid concerns over tight supply just as a winter storm hits the United States. The drop in stockpiles as shown in yesterday’s EIA report comes as demand for heating oil is set to soar with a powerful winter storm hitting the United States. The storm is expected to bring sub-zero wind chills as far south as Texas and record-breaking forecast for Florida and the eastern states. In international news, Russian crude oil exports via the Transneft system - including pipelines and key outlets on the Baltic and Black seas as well as on the Pacific Ocean - might drop by 575,000 b/d in the first three months of 2023 compared to what was scheduled for the October-December period.

  
  

  Natural gas futures slipped lower in early trading as forecasts for warmer weather over the next two weeks in key consuming regions outweigh concerns over the incoming winter storm.
