The G7 and EU have agreed to a coordinated release of up to 100 million barrels of diesel and oil reserves, a move announced by President Trump and confirmed by European leaders to stabilize markets. This strategic intervention directly counters the previous supply shock fears stemming from US diesel export ban threats and Strait of Hormuz tensions. The announcement has caused WTI crude to drop approximately 5%, significantly dampening the bullish energy thesis and providing immediate relief to inflation-sensitive sectors like airlines and consumer discretionary.
