SUA eliberează până la 17 milioane de barili din Rezerva Strategică de Petrol pentru a tempera prețurile la pompă înaintea alegerilor din noiembrie

The U.S. Department of Energy has requested bids for a loan of up to 17 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to stabilize fuel prices amid market pressures from the Iran conflict. This action is part of a larger global agreement involving around 30 countries to manage rising fuel costs due to Middle Eastern tensions. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve serves as an emergency stockpile to mitigate supply disruptions. Additionally, G7 leaders announced a coordinated release of 100 million barrels from emergency stocks over four months. Despite these efforts, energy markets remain under pressure, with Brent crude trading around $109 per barrel due to ongoing maritime attacks and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.
