US Strategic Reserve Refill Boosts Oil Prices
TL;DR
Crude oil prices rose as the US government announced plans to buy up to 3 million barrels for the strategic petroleum reserve, with a total of 9 million barrels already purchased. While the news provided support, concerns about China's oil demand and oversupply perceptions continue to cap gains. Despite OPEC+ production cuts, falling oil prices for seven consecutive weeks have been driven by expectations of slower demand growth and record-breaking US production. The true floor for oil prices remains uncertain.
