Petrolul se ieftinește cu peste 3% și ajunge sub 100 de dolari pe baril

Oil prices dropped significantly on Friday due to reports of European nations considering releasing substantial amounts of diesel and crude from reserves to alleviate market shortages. Brent crude fell below $100 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate dropped to $89.18 per barrel. The decline followed discussions among EU states about emergency measures to reduce diesel prices, with France proposing to release 50 million barrels of diesel. The U.S. also urged European partners to expedite the release of reserves to address the diesel deficit affecting the American economy. The EU's reliance on U.S. diesel imports has intensified market pressures, especially after recent tensions in the Middle East.
