U.S. Oil Surpasses $106 Per Barrel For First Time In Over Seven Years

U.S. oil prices surged 10.8% Tuesday to surpass $106 per barrel for the first time in more than seven years following concerns over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil briefly passed the July 2014 high mark to $106.11 per barrel, according to CNBC. The increased prices are pressuring U.S. and world leaders to increase oil production or release emergency stockpiles of oil.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) issued a press release on Tuesday to announce the release of 60 million barrels of oil reserve to avoid any “shortfall in supplies” following Russia’s invasion.

“The 31 Member Countries of the Governing Board of the International Energy Agency agreed to release 60 million barrels of oil from their emergency reserves to send a unified and strong message to global oil markets that there will be no shortfall in supplies as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine,” the IEA said in the statement. – READ MORE
