G7 agrees to release 100 million barrels from reserves, with diesel prioritized early
๐ข G7 members have agreed to coordinate through the IEA to release around 100 million barrels of emergency reserves over four months, starting immediately. A significant share of diesel supply is expected to be front-loaded into the first 20 days to ease pressure on fuel markets.
๐ Ahead of the final agreement, US diesel futures fell about 3.25%, while European diesel dropped nearly 5.75%. G7 members also pledged not to restrict energy exports between themselves and to coordinate refinery maintenance schedules.
โ ๏ธ However, the statement does not clearly specify how much of the 100 million barrels represents genuinely new supply, as part of the volume may overlap with IEA commitments announced in March.
๐ Near-term price pressure could ease if physical barrels reach the market quickly, but the core risk remains refinery capacity and the actual shortage of diesel supply.
