The Financial Times reports that the world is facing a threat of diesel shortage. According to the publication, Russia has decided this week to ban diesel exports, raising concerns over reduced supplies. Meanwhile, rising tensions in the Persian Gulf are jeopardizing additional supplies from the region. The combination of these factors, the Financial Times argues, will mean higher prices for diesel worldwide. The exact duration of the ban and its impact on the global market remain unclear, but experts warn of potential supply disruptions.
