The Group of Seven (G7) is considering a coordinated release of 300\u2013400 million barrels of oil from strategic reserves as global crude prices surge.<\/p>\n
According to reports, the potential move would be coordinated through the International Energy Agency and could amount to as much as 30% of the bloc\u2019s combined emergency stockpiles.<\/p>\n
The proposal is expected to be discussed by G7 finance ministers in a meeting later today, as policymakers look for ways to stabilize energy markets and curb rising fuel prices.<\/p>\n
A joint release of this scale would rank among the largest coordinated interventions in oil markets, aimed at easing supply concerns and cooling the recent rally in crude prices.<\/p>\n
Global energy markets are in the midst of a historic crisis as Brent crude prices surged past the $114 per barrel mark on Monday, for the first time in nearly four years. This single-day jump of over 25% is driven by the intensifying war between the U.S.-Israel and Iran, which has effectively paralyzed the Strait of Hormuz. With approximately 20% of global supply currently stranded in the Persian Gulf and major producers like Iraq, Kuwait, and the UAE beginning to “shut in” production due to maxed-out storage, brokerages warn that prices could test $150 if the blockade persists. This has triggered a massive global sell-off, hitting import-dependent economies like India particularly hard. Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty have crashed over 3% on fears of rampant inflation and a global recession.<\/p>\n
