Energy prices surge on Ukraine crisis with oil closing in on $100

(Bloomberg) — Energy prices surged after Russian President Vladimir Putin signed an order to send what he called “peacekeeping forces” to the two breakaway areas of Ukraine that he officially recognized on Monday.

U.S. equities fell, entering correction territory, as U.S. President Joe Biden joined allies in announcing a new tranche of sanctions on Russia after his Putin ordered troops sent to the separatist republics.

The S&P 500 declined 1% Tuesday, down 10% from a high in January, as investors weighed the potential damage from sanctions targeting Russia’s elite and sovereign debt abroad. The European Union and U.K. also signaled they are ready to impose further penalties unless Putin changes course. However, the Russian president has denied plans to invade Ukraine.

Gold was little changed, the dollar was flat and benchmark Treasury yields drifted at 1.93%. In European trading, the Stoxx 600 Index fell as much as 2% before recovering losses.

European natural gas led the gains with as much as 13% rise, helped higher by Germany halting the approval process of the controversial Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Brent oil closed in on $100 a barrel, and power and coal prices rose. Moscow’s move is a dramatic escalation in the standoff, with the U.K. responding by sanctioning five Russian banks and the European Union planning to restrict access to its financial markets. The U.S. said it plans to announce new restrictions as soon as Tuesday.
