IEA to Speed up Oil Stocks Release Including over 20 Million Barrels of Diesel

The agency said members will accelerate about 100 million barrels of remaining emergency stocks, including more than 20 million barrels of diesel.

  • On Thursday, the International Energy Agency announced it will exceed the original 400 million barrel oil release pledge from March, committing to accelerate the remaining 100 million barrels including 20 million barrels of diesel.
  • Tightening energy markets caused by regional conflicts prompted the decision, as Russia, the second-largest diesel exporter after the United States, faces supply constraints amid Ukrainian attacks on its refineries.
  • Maritime officials reported two vessels sunk near the Hormuz Strait in the past 24 hours after being hit by projectiles; the Iran-backed Houthi group continues targeting Saudi Arabia, including a Saturday attack on King Khalid International Airport that killed 13 people.
  • Global benchmark Brent crude decreased to $104 per barrel on Wednesday, while West Texas International crude rose to $95; President Donald Trump claimed a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin will reduce energy and diesel prices.
  • The United States accounts for more than 40 percent of the 330 million barrels released so far, with officials aiming to complete remaining releases in a timely manner consistent with national circumstances to stabilize global energy markets.
