The release, expected to be announced today, would be the biggest in Strategic Petroleum Reserve\u0027s history

Brent crude futures for May fell US$6.95, or 6.13 per cent, to US$106.50 a barrel by 1057 GMT. The May contract expires on Thursday and the most actively traded June futures were down US$6.66 at US$104.78, after earlier falling by US$7 a barrel.

Such a release would therefore not resolve the structural supply deficit, years in the making.”
