A larger reserve cushion reduces near-term need for fresh oil purchases, which can soften Brent prices and weigh on BNO. Historical patterns show reserve buildups can cap short-term spikes but may be offset if geopolitical risk escalates or demand shifts sharply.
What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
