IEA Chief Says 100 Million-Barrel Reserve Release Pushes Oil Prices Lower
International Energy Agency (IEA) Executive Director Fatih Birol stated that oil prices have begun falling after an agreement to release 100 million barrels of emergency oil and fuel reserves. Birol reported crude prices dropped by about $5 following the announcement, which prioritises diesel alongside crude oil. The emergency initiative, coordinated with G7 nations, aims to ease tight fuel supply and lower global transportation costs.
