ABOUT THIS MARKET

On October 1, 2026, Reuters reported that the United States had told France and Germany to release emergency diesel stocks or face a potential US diesel export ban, as Washington presses European countries to draw down their reserves to ease record diesel prices. You can read more about that here: [https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-tells-france-germany-release-diesel-stocks-or-face-us-export-ban-sources-say-2026-10-01/](https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-tells-france-germany-release-diesel-stocks-or-face-us-export-ban-sources-say-2026-10-01/) This market will resolve to "Yes" if the International Energy Agency (IEA) requests that Germany release emergency oil stocks between market creation and the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". A qualifying request may take either of the following forms: (i) the IEA Member countries formally agree to a new coordinated emergency release of oil stocks (an IEA collective action) within the market's timeframe, under which Germany is requested, allocated, or assigned a contribution of emergency oil stocks; or (ii) the IEA, its Executive Director, or an authorized representative thereof officially and explicitly calls on, requests, or asks Germany or the German government to release, draw down, or make available its emergency oil stocks, including any previously committed but not yet released volumes. An explicit request addressed to a group of countries also qualifies if Germany is expressly named as one of the countries being asked to release stocks. For the purposes of this market, "emergency oil stocks" means strategic or emergency stocks of crude oil and/or petroleum products (including diesel), such as those held by Germany's Erdölbevorratungsverband (EBV). General calls or requests addressed to IEA members, EU member states, or European countries as a group that do not specifically name Germany will not qualify, unless Germany is assigned a contribution as described
