The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve has fallen to the lowest level in more than 40 years as emergency stocks are released to help ease the supply disruption triggered by the Iran war.
The SPR stood at 340.3 million barrels as of June 12, the lowest level since the summer of 1983, according to data released Monday by the Department of Energy. The reserve fell nearly 9 million barrels week over week.
