The International Energy Agency said in its October Oil Market Report that diesel supply will stay tight into the second half of 2027. The agency cites a drop of 1.3 million barrels a day in diesel exports from Russia and the Middle East in September, falling inventories, and diesel demand that has stayed strong despite high prices. The agency also said high diesel prices are already raising the cost of goods and affecting incomes and inflation, and that markets may face more turmoil before any surplus emerges. CNBC, the Financial Times and the New York Post report the warning.
