Two EU diplomats said the International Energy Agency's Governing Council will hold an informal meeting at 1 pm local time in Paris to discuss proposals to release oil and diesel reserves.

Two EU diplomats said the International Energy Agency's (IEA) governing board will hold an informal meeting at 1 pm local time in Paris (11 am GMT) to discuss proposals to release oil and diesel reserves.

According to Reuters, the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and the United States and Iran have caused disruptions in energy supply, restricting some oil and fuel exports, and reducing the supply of diesel in the international market. Some oil refining facilities were attacked, which also prevented the smooth processing of crude oil into refined oil products such as diesel.

Diesel prices continue to rise, making the fuel that underpins freight, agriculture and industry a global political and economic issue. U.S. President Donald Trump is considering a diesel export ban to drive down domestic fuel prices and prepare for midterm elections in November.

The Group of Seven major industrial countries (G7) agreed last week to release 100 million barrels of crude oil and diesel reserves. It is unclear whether the 100 million barrels announced by the G7 are already included in the 400 million barrel emergency reserve release plan announced by the IEA in March this year, or whether an additional 100 million barrels will be added to the original 400 million barrels.

The German Economy Ministry pointed out that it is currently processing the approval process for the release of energy reserves and will participate in the release of the reserve amount determined by the IEA in March.

The Middle East sent 12 million barrels of crude oil to sea, but international oil prices could not fall.

International oil prices recovered after falling in early trading on Tuesday, with Brent crude rising 0.3% to $100.58 a barrel and WTI rising 1 cent to $89.44 a barrel. The market is weighing increased Middle East crude oil exports against the G7's release of emergency stockpiles, as well as supply concerns caused by the Houthi attack in Yemen. Saudi Arabia's East-West Pipeline transport volume reached 5.8 million barrels, but the risk of supply disruptions in the Middle East limited the decline in oil prices.
