According to Golden Ten Data on April 24, Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry announced that a tanker transporting US crude oil for Cosmo Oil is expected to arrive in the waters near Tokyo as early as Sunday. This marks Japan's first successful securing of such crude oil supplies since the outbreak of the Iran crisis. On Friday, Narumi Hosokawa, Deputy Director of METI’s Emergency Crisis Management Department, revealed that the tanker loaded crude oil in Texas on March 22 and is expected to arrive off the coast of Chiba via the Panama Canal as early as April 26. According to a Cosmo spokesperson, the tanker is carrying 910 thousand barrels of crude oil. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry also stated that Japan will begin releasing about 36 million barrels (5.8 million kiloliters) of crude oil from the national reserve starting May 1, marking the start of the second round of releases. This batch of crude oil is equivalent to about 20 days of consumption, valued at 540 billion yen (3.4 billion US dollars).

Golden Ten Data reported on April 24 that Commerzbank analyst Jörg Krämer pointed out in a report that the Iran war has put enormous pressure on the German economy. In April, the IFO Business Climate Index fell sharply to 84.4, compared to 86.3 a month earlier. High energy prices have severely damaged market confidence and economic activity. Commerzbank has lowered its forecast for German economic growth in 2026 to 0.6%, or just 0.3% when adjusted for working days. Krämer stated: "For every day of interrupted oil transport through the Strait of Hormuz, the risk of recession continues to increase." He also added that although the German government has introduced strong fiscal stimulus measures, the lack of broad-based reforms, the ongoing negative impact of U.S. tariffs, and the energy shock have largely offset the effects of these measures.
