Shifts in European Diesel Supply Dynamics
European diesel markets have experienced a significant shift largely due to geopolitical events and changing demand patterns. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has disrupted long-standing supply relationships, pushing Europe to rely more heavily on U.S. diesel exports. In July, U.S. diesel exports to Europe reached record highs, indicating a robust trade flow. This surge highlights the U.S.'s shift from a secondary supplier to the primary source for Europe, surpassing historically significant suppliers like Saudi Arabia.
