French President Emmanuel Macron stated on Friday that he would convene a G7 meeting within weeks to discuss the possibility of releasing strategic petroleum product reserves. This move signals Europe's escalating urgency regarding energy supply disruptions and further politicizes the oil price debate. Previously, European diesel benchmark prices surpassed $200 per barrel this week, with retail prices including tax exceeding $300. Unlike the coordinated crude oil release by the International Energy Agency (IEA) earlier this year, the G7 discussions will focus on reserves of refined products such as gasoline and diesel, aiming to more directly stabilize retail fuel prices.
