Japan METI orders oil reserve station to prepare for a release, according to Nikkei.

Japan's METI ordering oil reserve stations to prepare for a release suggests a strategic move to increase supply, likely in response to rising energy prices or supply concerns. This could exert downward pressure on WTI prices, particularly if the release is substantial and signals that authorities are proactive in managing inventory levels amid global demand fluctuations.
