What happened

Well supportedReported by 10 independent outlets

G7 nations agreed to coordinate the release of 100 million barrels of emergency oil and diesel supply over four months to address market pressures. This coordinated plan aims to provide a cushion against supply risks, though Middle East conflict continues to keep supply tight. Meanwhile, Shell reported that its indicative refining margin is expected to leap to $42 per barrel, nearly double the previous quarter's figure.
