Diesel desperation is mounting globally

Global diesel prices are surging due to geopolitical tensions in the Russia-Ukraine war and the Iran crisis, which are tightening supplies and driving up costs. This spike isn't just a local issue; it's impacting shipping, construction, and other sectors worldwide, contributing to broader economic pressures. In the U.S., diesel prices have jumped 44 cents in the past month alone to $5.32 per gallon, reflecting a significant increase from the $3.71 seen a year ago. The global economy is feeling the pinch as these rising costs ripple through various industries.
