U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve falls below 285 million barrels, the lowest since the early 1980s
AI Market Summary
U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve inventories have fallen below ~285M barrels after repeated drawdowns tied to the Iran conflict, reducing a key policy buffer against fuel-price shocks. With Brent holding above $100 and global stockpiles tighter, replenishment could be harder and more costly. A Venezuela deal appears long-dated and constrained by crude quality and development timelines, limiting near-term supply relief.
