G7 nations move to release oil reserves
Original: fuel
The G7 group of major economies is preparing a coordinated release of oil reserves, according to The Economist's World in Brief briefing. The move comes as hiring in the United States slows, raising fears that high energy prices are dragging on the global economy. Coordinated reserve releases are typically used to calm crude markets, and observers are watching whether the step will bring fuel costs down for consumers.
Why now: Energy prices and signs of a slowing US economy are top concerns, making coordinated action on oil supply newsworthy.
