The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve drops to its lowest level in 43 years
According to CoinWorld, the Trump administration will complete the release of 172 million barrels of strategic petroleum reserves to curb oil price increases caused by the Iran war.
After the release, the U.S. emergency crude oil reserves will drop to about 340 million barrels, close to the lowest in history, and if fully released, it would be the second-largest in history, with remaining about 243 million barrels, only about one-third of the statutory capacity.
The continuous decline in reserves will reduce flexibility in responding to future supply disruptions.
A spokesperson from the Department of Energy stated that the government is managing the reserves according to their intended purpose, aiming to stabilize the market, prevent supply interruptions, and enhance energy security.
