U.S. SPR Crude Oil Stocks Update
After nearly two years of gradual rebuilding following the 2022 drawdown, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve experienced a sharp reversal.
The chart shows:
- Steady accumulation throughout 2025 and early 2026
- Rapid depletion starting in April 2026, dropping to 371 million barrels
It took approximately 12 months to add around 15 million barrels during the refill phase. The recent drawdown reversed much of that progress in just weeks, coinciding with heightened geopolitical tensions around the Strait of Hormuz.
This accelerated release highlights how quickly strategic reserves can be deployed during supply shocks, but also raises questions about future buffer capacity.#WinGoldBarsWithGrowthPoints
