The annual CERAWeek (Cambridge Energy Research Associates) conference opened in a charged atmosphere in Houston, at the heart of the American oil basin, running through Friday. Three weeks after the outbreak of the Middle East conflict, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and strikes targeting Gulf energy sites dominate discussions.

Amid supply tensions, the IEA has signaled readiness to release additional strategic reserves to cushion rising prices.
