Stocks were trading higher Tuesday as Russia and Ukraine met to discuss a possible cease-fire.
Markets are trading risk-on this morning after reported progress in ceasefire talks between Russia and Ukraine,” wrote Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research.
That helped send the price of WTI crude oil down $6.47 to $99.49 a barrel at 9:40 AM ET, which is well below the multiyear high of $130 hit in early March. The fear, one that is subsiding, for now, is that further restrictions on Russian oil from Western nations would drastically reduce the global supply.

No Hydrocarbons Found in Key Exxon Mobil Prospect Offshore Brazil

Exxon Mobil Corp. failed to find oil in its first well in a new exploration area off Brazil’s Northeast coast, its partner Enauta Participacoes SA said on March 28, the latest in a series of setbacks for the U.S. producer in the country.
Exxon Mobil had hoped the prospect could become its first discovery as an operator in Brazil, one of its key three bets for future production growth, along with Guyana and the U.S. Permian Basin.
The disappointing news about the so-called Cutthroat prospect in Sergipe-Alagoas Basin came just a week after Exxon Mobil’s second minority partner in the venture, Houston-based oil producer Murphy Oil Corp., trumpeted its potential to yield as much as 1 billion barrels of oil and gas.
OPEC+ Set for Only Slight Oil Output Target Increase in May: Sources

OPEC+ will likely stick to plans for a modest increase in oil output in May, several sources close to the group said, despite a surge in prices due to the Ukraine crisis and calls from the U.S. and other consumers for more supply.
Several consuming nations including the U.S. have urged producers to raise their output by more as crude prices have surged, hitting their highest since 2008 this month at over $139/bbl.
But major OPEC members such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have held back on increasing their production targets, while OPEC+, a group that includes Russia, has steered clear of the topic of Ukraine.
