WHAT HAPPENED

A report says the US oil reserve has fallen to its lowest level in 44 years amid the Iran war and a global energy shortage. The supplied information does not provide reserve figures or confirm the wider shortage.

SO WHAT?

Reduced reserves during a conflict could leave energy markets and fuel supply more exposed to further disruption.
