President Joe Biden will announce tomorrow that the administration will release 10 million to 15 million barrels of oil from the strategic reserve.
The boss hits the nail on the head. From Bloomberg News:
The Biden administration is moving toward a release of at least another 10 million to 15 million barrels of oil from the nation’s emergency stockpile in a bid to balance markets and keep gasoline prices from climbing further, according to people familiar with the matter.The move would effectively represent the tail end of a program announced in the spring to release a total of 180 million barrels of crude from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. About 165 million barrels has been delivered or put under contract since the program was put into effect.The Biden administration also is set this week to provide details on plans to replenish the emergency stockpile. The Energy Department announced in May it was planning a new method of buybacks to allow for a “competitive, fixed-price bid process,” with prices potentially locked in well before crude is delivered.President Joe Biden will speak about gasoline prices on Wednesday, White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain said in a tweet.
