The Telegraph

Asda hikes diesel prices faster than rivals, adding 59.3p per litre since Feb 27

AI Market Summary
UK diesel prices are surging amid Middle East conflict risks and Strait of Hormuz disruption fears, reinforcing the tight supply narrative that has already lifted Brent sharply since February. Proposed US strategic reserve releases (40m barrels) could temper near-term pressures, but the backdrop highlights elevated geopolitical risk premia in refined products and crude benchmarks. Rising fuel costs also raise political sensitivity around fuel duty and potential demand-side responses.
