The International Energy Agency (IEA) is recommending a release of over 100 million barrels of oil from strategic reserves within the first month, according to two sources familiar with IEA discussions on Wednesday, March 11. This recommendation comes amid concerns related to the Middle East conflict, specifically an "Iran war" as indicated by the source title.
The substantial release aims to stabilize global oil markets by increasing supply, thereby mitigating potential price surges and supply disruptions stemming from geopolitical tensions. The IEA has not yet publicly commented on the recommendation.
