Oil falls on Russia/Ukraine talks and new lockdowns in China | Reuters
LONDON, March 14 (Reuters) - Oil prices fell by around $5 a barrel on Monday as investors pinned hopes on diplomatic efforts by Ukraine and Russia to end their conflict, while a surge in COVID-19 cases in China spooked the markets.
Brent was down by $4.67, or 4.1%, at $108.00 a barrel at 1000 GMT, and U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell $5.71, or 5.2%, to $103.62 a barrel.
Both contracts have surged since Russia's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine and are up roughly 40% for the year to date.

A taste of fake spring … π·
I tend to think that the snow will not be long for this world with the warm temperatures expected. I turned off the heat this morning, I figure it will be above freezing all week and mild in the evening with lots of sun β to warm the building. With inflation so high, interest rates so low, got to save money wherever possible. Plus if I’m cold in the early hours of the morning there is always the heated blanket. Maybe by Friday I can open the windows and have fresh air for a change.
