On Thursday, March 12, on Antena 3, Eugenia Gusilov analyzed the decision by the International Energy Agency to release 400 million barrels from member countries' emergency stocks.

This measure was designed to calm global markets and temporarily insulate price formation mechanisms from the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz. While multiple nations contributed, the United States shouldered the largest share of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve release.

Key national contributions included:
- USA: 172 million barrels
- Japan: 80 million barrels
- Germany: 19.5 million barrels
- France: 14.5 million barrels
- Great Britain: 13.5 million barrels
