What happened
The U.S. Department of Energy is gauging interest from trading firms and refiners regarding a potential release of 172 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. This action follows the authorization by Donald Trump in March to protect energy security amid global volatility triggered by the war in Iran. Meanwhile, De Haan began his petroleum analysis at GasBuddy.

Why it matters
The drawdown was intended to boost near-term market supply and counteract disruptions caused by the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz. However, an analyst suggests that a new round of crude loans might create a 'perfect storm' rather than providing significant relief to U.S. drivers.
Gas price analysis is influenced by Iran's actions, Strait of Hormuz violence, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
