Group of Seven nations have agreed to release millions of barrels of oil and diesel from reserves, a coordinated move aimed at heading off further price spikes in energy markets.
The decision comes after pressure linked to a threat from US President Donald Trump, with the release also intended to help avoid a ban on US diesel exports that had been under consideration.
By releasing reserves in a coordinated fashion, the G7 nations are seeking to stabilize supply and ease upward pressure on prices that had been building in recent weeks.
The move reflects the ongoing sensitivity of global energy markets to policy decisions in major economies, with reserve releases serving as a tool to manage short-term volatility.
Further details on the exact volumes to be released by each country, and the timeline for the release, have not been fully specified in available reports.
