MOSCOW/KYIV, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Russian forces fired missiles at several cities in Ukraine and landed troops on its south coast on Thursday, officials and media said, after President Vladimir Putin authorised what he called a special military operation in the east. Shortly after Putin spoke in a televised address on Russian state TV, explosions could be heard in the pre-dawn quiet of the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv. Gunfire rattled near the capital's main airport, the Interfax news agency said, and sirens were heard over the city.

Bro, you need to understand the business nature of ICON. It mainly provides support vessels for the O&G sector, which means the rise in Brent won't benefit ICON directly.
The spike counters you are looking for are: 1) Oil Exploration & Production Counters 2) Oil Refining Counters These counters benefit directly from the rising oil price as they are primarily involved in the trading of oil products and the rising Brent raises their profit margin.
Other types of O&G counters that doesn't really work well in high Brent price are: 1) O&G Supporting Counters, such as ICON 2) O&G Bunkering Counters, such as Straits and Fast Why? 1) They have fixed margins which are usually based on contracts. - For O&G Bunkering, it is the percentage premium. - For O&G Support, it is the service fee. 2) They employ a lot of vessels which in turn also consumes fuel. In turn, rising Brent price will increase their production cost.
Icon Offshore diversified into oil drilling business in April 2021 . And rising oil price will benefit ICON.
"Hadian says Icon Offshore is in a good position now to embark on a new growth trajectory at a time when crude oil prices are expected to remain high."
