Global Diesel Prices Rise Amid Supply Disruptions and Refinery Challenges
Global diesel prices have surged due to tightening supplies caused by Russian export bans, attacks on refineries in Russia and the Middle East, and disruptions from the Iran conflict. European diesel costs have risen above jet fuel for the first time in over a year amid reduced diesel imports and increased jet fuel shipments. Refiners are operating at high capacity to offset supply losses, but limited refining flexibility and low inventories contribute to ongoing market strain and elevated diesel prices worldwide.
