US equity futures were mixed after the best session since April as markets await a key inflation report that could pave the way for a Fed rate hike next month. S&P 500 futures were up just under 0.1%; Nasdaq-100 futures fell about 0.4%. WTI crude slid roughly 2% to around $85/bl, its weakest since late August. Sevens Report founder Tom Essaye said recent Fed comments offset oil’s continued decline ahead of today’s CPI release.

Industry sources said Ukrainian drone strikes since late October have knocked Russian refining capacity down roughly 30%. The refineries hit include three large central Russian plants in Ryazan, Yaroslavl and the Volga region with combined nominal capacity of about 300,000 t/day (≈2.2mn b/d); Russia’s total primary refining capacity is about 930,000 t/day. Sources said crude runs at Russian refineries were roughly 700,000 t/day (≈5.0mn b/d) at end-October and estimate actual processing may have fallen by as much as 200,000 t/day.
