## IEA Update
The International Energy Agency said member countries released 325 million barrels of oil and oil-derivative products from strategic reserves, meeting 80 percent of the 400 million barrels pledged in March.
## G7 Agreement
G7 leaders agreed to release 100 million barrels of diesel and crude oil within the next four months, including a frontloaded substantial diesel release within the first 20 days.
## Strategic Reserve Details
The IEA pledge included 32 member countries, all G7 nations: Britain, Canada, Italy, Germany, the United States, and Japan.
## Diesel Export Ban
G7 countries agreed there would be no ban on diesel exports between the two countries, addressing a threat previously raised by Washington.
## Market Pressures
The US-Iran war and Ukraine's strikes on Russian refineries have squeezed diesel supplies, with Iran restricting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
## Key takeaway

The International Energy Agency reported 325 million barrels of oil and derivatives released from strategic reserves, meeting 80% of the March pledge.
