  • Oil Prices Surge Over 8% Despite Record Global Strategic Reserve Release by IEA
    March 11, 2026, 11:46 PM EDT. Oil prices jumped over 8% on Thursday, with Brent crude hitting $100 per barrel and West Texas Intermediate reaching $95, despite the International Energy Agency (IEA) announcing the largest emergency release of crude reserves ever-400 million barrels from 32 member countries. The U.S. plans to release 172 million barrels from its Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Traders remain skeptical that the reserve releases can offset the significant supply disruption caused by the Middle East conflict and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route for a fifth of global oil supply. Analysts like MST Marquee's Saul Kavonic warn the IEA's move signals severe supply risks and expects prolonged market tightness and higher prices ahead due to logistical uncertainties and ongoing geopolitical tensions.
