World has nearly burned through its oil stockpile buffer

Original: The world has nearly burned through its oil stockpile buffer

Oil industry executives say global inventories have drawn down to the point where the world has nearly exhausted its buffer stockpile of crude. With spare stocks nearly gone, markets are left with little cushion against supply disruptions or demand spikes, a warning that is fueling debate about price risks and energy security heading into 2027.

Why now: The warning from industry executives points to tighter oil markets and higher price and energy-security risks, a concern for consumers, traders and policymakers.
