Rezerva strategică de petrol a SUA scade la cel mai redus nivel din 1982 încoace - Economica.net

U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve stocks fell to 284.6 million barrels, continuing a downward trend that has reached the lowest levels since 1982. The decline is linked to a release of 172 million barrels authorized by President Trump, part of a coordinated effort with other countries. Current reserves are testing operational minimums set by federal law, raising concerns about future supply options. Analysts warn that continued stock releases may lead to diminishing returns, as market perceptions shift regarding available oil options. Additionally, a significant portion of the stock reduction involves swaps with major companies, with returns scheduled for next year.
