“When life is out of balance, it is your job to find a way to come back to yourself,” a sentiment that resonates as oil prices fell to around $88 per barrel on March 11, 2026. This decline follows a report indicating that the International Energy Agency (IEA) is considering a record release of emergency oil reserves.

The proposed release could exceed 182 million barrels of oil, aimed at easing supply concerns and stabilizing markets during the ongoing crisis in the Middle East. Earlier in the week, oil prices had surged, briefly crossing $100 per barrel for the first time in over three and a half years, reflecting the volatility driven by geopolitical tensions.

Brent crude slipped after earlier rising by as much as 3.7%, while the US benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) fell near $84 per barrel. The IEA’s proposed reserve release is a direct response to the escalating crisis in the region, which has significantly impacted global oil supply.

As the situation unfolds, former President Donald Trump commented, “Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for USA, and World, Safety and Peace. ONLY FOOLS WOULD THINK DIFFERENTLY!” His remarks highlight the broader implications of oil price fluctuations on international stability.

In a related event, the Fan Zone at the FIDE Candidates Tournament is set to feature daily activities and special guests, including five-time World Champion Viswanathan Anand and former Women’s World Champion Alexandra Kosteniuk. The Fan Zone programme begins on March 29, with Anand making a special appearance.

Tickets for the FIDE Candidates Tournament and Fan Zone access are available through the official ticketing platform, providing fans with opportunities to engage with top players.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding the full impact of the IEA’s actions on the oil market, but the proposed reserve release is expected to play a crucial role in stabilizing prices amidst ongoing uncertainty.
