Slovak Prime Minister: We aim to reach an agreement with EU partners on stopping Russian gas supplies and sanctions package by Tuesday.July 12, Anthony Saglimbene, chief market strategist at Ameriprise Financial, said that as the US government reaches an agreement with trading partners such as Japan and South Korea in the coming weeks, most investors seem to expect the United States to avoid raising tariffs. "This is the expectation that the market has formed," Saglimbene said. "If we dont get such an outcome, then I think if the White House does implement some aggressive tariff measures, the market volatility in the short term may increase."Ukraine said Russia launched 623 drones and missiles during the night.July 12, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal on the 11th, US President Trump hinted that if Iran seeks to develop nuclear weapons, he will support Israel in launching a new round of strikes against Iran.

The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve Has Fallen to Its Lowest Point Since 1987

The volume of crude oil in the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) decreased by 5 million barrels during the week ending May 13.


Stockpiles from 1987, to 538 million barrels in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR).


According to the data, approximately 3.9 million barrels of sour oil and 1.1 million barrels of sweet crude were discharged onto the market.


President Joe Biden announced in March the largest release ever from the U.S. emergency oil reserve, 1 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil for six months, in an effort to reduce gasoline prices that had skyrocketed due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.


Prior to that, the United States had agreed to release 30 million barrels of SPR oil in March and 50 million barrels from SPR in November.


The price of a barrel of crude oil in the United States has increased by over 25 percent to nearly $114 due to market concerns about a supply shortage. This week, retail gasoline and diesel prices reached all-time highs as fuel demand returned to pre-pandemic levels and refining capacity fell.


The 180 million-barrel discharge was the third time in the previous six months that the United States had tapped the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.


Winners of the most recent SPR auction were Valero Energy Corp (NYSE:VLO), Motiva, Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM), Shell (LON:RDSa), Phillips, and Marathon Petroleum Corp. (NYSE:MPC).


According to U.S. Customs data, ship tracking, and an industry source, at least three vessels carrying crude oil from U.S. emergency stocks set sail for Europe in April as European refiners rushed to replace Russian crude supplies.
