Social media posts show some U.S. gas stations posting “out of diesel” notices as prices hit record highs
AI Market Summary
Reports of isolated U.S. diesel pump outages coincide with a sharp diesel price surge driven by disrupted Middle East shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and a large reduction in global diesel exports from Russia and the Gulf. The EIA expects U.S. distillate inventories to fall below recent five-year lows through much of 2027, reinforcing near-term tightness in refined products and supporting crude-linked risk premia.

Reports and images circulating online show some U.S. gas stations running short of diesel as prices jump. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecasts distillate fuel oil inventories will fall to a five-year low and remain there through much of 2027. Supplies have tightened after Ukrainian strikes damaged Russian refineries and Moscow limited exports, cutting global diesel exports by an estimated 1.6 million barrels per day since February.
