Ukraine has resumed drone strikes on Russian oil refineries, specifically targeting Rosneft facilities in the Samara region. This escalation in the energy supply chain supports higher Brent crude prices, benefiting upstream energy producers like XOM and CVX while increasing input costs for airlines (DAL, UAL) and shipping. The strikes add a geopolitical risk premium to oil markets, complicating the Fed's inflation outlook and potentially reinforcing the case for higher rates.
