    U.S. Crude Oil Reserves Fall Below 300 Million Barrels

    U.S. strategic petroleum reserves have fallen below 300 million barrels for the first time in 43 years, reaching their lowest level since 1983. This decline, driven by the Iran war and disruptions in energy exports through the Strait of Hormuz, has raised concerns about the operational capability of the reserve in case of new disruptions. The U.S. has been releasing oil from its strategic reserves to stabilize the market, with around 116.6 million barrels released so far out of the 172 million barrels authorized in March. The reserve is expected to reach around 243 million barrels upon completion of the program.
