US President Joe Biden has called on oil firms to boost drilling to bring more supply into the market, on Thursday, after a 7% drop in prices, only over $100. Biden announced the biggest release from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

US West Texas Intermediate futures for May distribution to land at $7.54, or 7%, at $100,28 per barrel, following a low hit of $99.66.

Brent crude futures for May, which became void on Thursday, settled down $5.54, or 4.8%, at $107.91 per barrel. Meanwhile, the more diligently traded June futures dropped 5.6% at $105.16, following a $7 descent previously in the session.

The two benchmarks reported their most greatly valued quarterly percentage gains after the 2020 second quarter. Brent skyrocketed 38%, and WTI earned 34%, mainly spurred by Russia’s February 24 attack on Ukraine, which it identifies as a “special military operation.”

“This is a market where every barrel counts and (the SPR release) is a significant volume of oil to be put on the market for an extended period of time,” stated a partner at Again Capital LLC, John Kilduff. 

The United States’ release of 180 million barrels is equal to around two days’ worth of global demand and gestures at the third time over six months that Washington nudged the SPR.

Biden announced that Washington would release 1 million barrels a day for the next six months from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve starting May, further stating allies and partners could add 30 to 50 more million barrels.

“We need to increase supply … Oil firms sitting on idle wells or unused leases will have to start producing or pay for their inaction,” he stated. 

The senior investment and markets analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, Susannah Streeter, believes that a release from SPR could indicate the West has not foreseen rapid resolution to the conflict in Ukraine, which has pressed oil supplies. 

“Desperate time clearly calls for desperate measures, and clearly, the Biden administration believes the spike in oil prices warrants this move to eat into the country’s emergency supplies,” stated Streeter.
