    IEA says 411.9 million barrels of oil from emergency reserves to be released

    Oil from the International Energy Agency’s emergency reserves will begin flowing to global markets soon, after member countries pledged to make available 411.9 million barrels, the agency said in a statement on Sunday.

    Oil prices have been highly volatile as the war in the Middle East disrupted tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a key route that normally carries about 20% of global oil supply.
