WHAT HAPPENED
Oil markets showed limited reaction to what was described as the toughest sanctions in US history. The headline does not specify the sanctions' target or scope.
SO WHAT?
Weak market response may indicate limited immediate disruption to global oil supply or expectations that sanctions will be ineffective.
