Oil Retreats on Gulf Supply Hopes Even as Diesel Markets Tighten
Analysts warn a U.S. diesel export ban could deepen global fuel shortages even as rising Gulf exports and renewed diplomacy could ease concerns over supply.
Oil prices have fallen to two-week lows, influenced by increased crude supplies from the Persian Gulf and optimism surrounding Middle East diplomacy, which has eased supply worries. Conversely, diesel refining margins have reached a record high, driven by concerns over potential U.S. export restrictions. Brent crude futures saw a slight increase to $100.58, while West Texas Intermediate futures rose to $91.17.
