According to CoinMeta, and as reported by the Financial Times, American oil and gas companies have warned that it may take more than a year for diesel prices to return to 2025 levels. A survey conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas among 100 energy companies found that nearly half of the respondents expect diesel prices to fall back to normal levels only after more than four quarters. The survey indicates that the war in Iran, which has disrupted supplies in the Middle East, and the Russian refining facilities attacked in Ukraine have jointly exacerbated global diesel supply tensions. A representative from an energy company interviewed said that diesel is an important fuel for economic operations, and the market has only just begun to feel the impact of high prices on the overall economy. The Trump administration has recently been discussing measures including restricting diesel exports and urging allies to release their inventories in order to reduce domestic fuel costs. Analysts warn that while a ban on diesel exports may increase domestic supply in the short term, it could lead to higher fuel prices in the long run and impact markets in Europe and Latin America that rely on U.S. diesel supplies.
