President Trump stated that he expected oil prices to rise further and the stock market to experience a deeper decline, but the movements were milder than anticipated.



Global markets initially reacted with unease after Ukraine launched drone attacks on Russia's second-largest refinery, Kirishi, on March 26 and 27, 2026. Fires broke out in the main units and storage tanks of the facility in the Leningrad region. The refinery was completely shut down, rendering 6.6% of Russia's total refining capacity inoperable. With attacks also targeting the Primorsk and Ust Luga terminals in the Baltic Sea, 40% of Russia's oil export capacity was affected.

In a statement on March 26, President Trump emphasized that despite these developments, the rise in oil prices and stock market movements were not as severe as he had expected. Brent crude oil climbed above $100, reaching $108, but remained far from the $150 forecast. Stock markets also reacted with limited declines. The S&P 500 index fell by 1.7%, but a larger collapse did not occur.

In response, Russia decided to ban gasoline exports starting April 1st. The aim is to stabilize fuel prices in the domestic market and protect stocks. Experts say that supply disruptions can be partially offset by spare capacity in the short term. Trump stated that everything will return to its previous levels and may even fall lower.

This moderate reaction shows that the impact of the energy war on markets has been limited. Global supply risks materialized as Ukraine continued to strike refinery and terminal targets to weaken Russia's war financing. However, the combined effect of tensions in Iran and other factors resulted in less volatility than expected.

As a result, the market reaction is more controlled. President Trump's prediction has been confirmed, and a balanced adjustment is taking place instead of sudden jumps. This soft rise in oil prices is easing both the Russian economy and inflationary pressures globally. Markets will continue to closely monitor developments in the coming days.
