US only has 43-day emergency buffer of crude oil left

The Mirror-  The U.S. only has about 43 days of an emergency buffer of crude oil left — a 45-year low as President Donald Trump continues to wage war against Iran, throwing global markets into chaos

U.S. crude oil supplies have fallen to their lowest level in 45 years as President Donald Trump continues to wage war against Iran — with only 43 days of global supply left.

There now exists a thinner cushion against any potential disruptions should the fighting in the Middle East escalate further. According to Bank of America Global Research Data, compiled by Bloomberg, the U.S. has just 43 days of crude oil supply, including that of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, compared with a long-term average of about 65 days. The data shows the measure falling to its lowest level since the 1980s.
