Sceptical

Diesel is described as exceptionally tight and expensive, with disrupted exports, refinery outages, depleted inventories and strong structural demand cited as the main drivers.112333 Prices have eased from their peak, but speakers generally expect downside to be limited because demand destruction is difficult and refining capacity remains constrained.21333 The main policy debate is whether to ban U.S. exports or release overseas reserves; the evidence largely favours reserve releases and warns that an export ban could ultimately reduce refining output and raise other fuel prices.81116
