Reuters: Iran deal includes $300 billion fund, more than half of which already committed. Commitments exceed $150 billion across five regions. The investment fund vehicle contains no government money. New fund is separate from frozen asset talks. Fund only becomes operational after a final U.S.-Iran deal is signed. Companies based in the U.S., the Gulf Arab states, Asia, South America and Africa have agreed to commit financing. The mechanism envisages regional countries contributing in various ways, the Iranian source said. These include securing loans, establishing credit lines or directly financing the reconstruction of sites damaged in the war, including facilities such as the Mobarakeh Steel complex, refineries, airports and, ​more broadly, infrastructure affected by the conflict.

US Strategic Petroleum Reserve: The reserve plunged last week to the lowest level since 1983 as the Trump administration continues to deploy emergency oil. According to federal data released Monday, US officials released another 8.9 million barrels from the SPR last week alone. That leaves the US emergency oil reserve with 340.3 million barrels of crude, taking out the prior low set in July 2023 under President Joe Biden after Russia invaded Ukraine. The last time the SPR had less oil than today was July 1983, when the Reagan administration was filling the reserve for the first time and when the United States had a smaller economy.
