Oil Futures Settle Sharply Higher As Russia Plans To Reduce Output

Crude oil futures settled sharply higher on Friday on continued optimism about higher fuel demand from China, and on Russia’s move to reduce oil output next month.

West Texas Intermediate Crude oil futures for March ended higher by $1.66 or about 2.1% at $79.72 a barrel.

WTI crude futures gained about 9% in the week.

Brent Crude futures settled at $86.39 a barrel today, gaining $1.89 or about 2.2%. Brent futures gained about 8% in the week.

Russia has announced that it would cut oil output by 500,000 barrels per day in March. Ahead of announcement of the decision, Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak warned that there was risk of lower oil production this year.

Novak said the risk was due to the EU import bans and the price caps on Russian crude and petroleum products.

Novak said the output reduction move “will contribute to the restoration of market relations.”

Hopes for strong fuel demand recovery in China, the world’s top oil importer, also supported prices and offset fears of a looming recession in the United States.

A report from Baker Hughes said the number of active U.S. rigs drilling for oil rose by 10 to 609 this week. The total rig count, which includes those drilling for natural gas, also climbed by 2 to 761, the report said.

No updated tax returns after facing searches by I-T department

Persons and entities who have faced search or survey proceedings by the income tax department “in any previous year” will no longer be allowed to file updated tax returns.

Earlier, it was proposed that an updated tax return cannot be filed, in case of search or survey proceedings in the relevant financial year and the preceding one.

Citing the previous circular on November 3 regarding the updated tax return (under Section 139 8(a), the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) on February 6 clarified, “In the said circular, in sub-point (iii) of the point (1) of sub-paragraph… the words ‘two assessment years preceding such assessment year’ shall be read as ‘any assessment year preceding such assessment year’.”

Notably, an updated return cannot be filed to set off losses incurred against income, or to claim additional refunds.

The option of updated return can be availed of only if the return has not been selected for scrutiny.
