With diesel markets still tight and supply risks tied to Hormuz disruptions and geopolitics, the news underscores fragile supply resilience and limited capacity to offset shocks. This supports near-term risk premia in crude and refined products while raising focus on future stock rebuild demand.

Saudi Aramco CEO Amin Nasser warned that global oil inventories are at extremely low levels, saying Western countries’ emergency reserve releases amount to the “last major tool in the box.” The comments came after G7 nations said they would release 100 million barrels of crude oil and fuel to ease pressure on diesel prices. Even so, diesel prices have remained elevated, while oil has held near $102 per barrel.
