U.S. diesel hits record $6.23 a gallon as Saudi pipeline shutdown sends oil higher
Brent and WTI spiked after Saudi Arabia shut a key East'West pipeline amid ongoing Persian Gulf shipping disruptions and delayed Hormuz talks. The surge is feeding directly into refined products, with U.S. diesel and gasoline reaching new highs, reinforcing near-term inflation sensitivity across transport and supply chains. Russia's diesel export ban and Ukraine-related refinery risks further tighten global distillate balances, amplifying energy-market stress.
