For the first time, U.S. diesel has been sold at $6.5 per gallon. The most unremarkable fuel pump—started first.
A year ago it was still just over $3.8. Year over year, it’s up nearly 70%. Not a small move.
Diesel doesn’t feed passenger cars. It feeds trucks, trains, tractors, and fishing boats.
More than 30% of America’s freight relies on trucks on the highways. When diesel gets more expensive, logistics costs rise too.
The Middle East is still fighting. Global oil routes are tight, and inventories can’t catch up.
Refiners’ profits jumped first. The refining margin for diesel surged to multi-year highs.
What’s even more troublesome: winter is coming. Heating oil and diesel compete for the same batch of feedstock.
Freight rates rise first. Supermarket shelf prices lag behind, then catch up later.
Farm owners are also complaining. Harvest season is about to use fuel, and costs suddenly spike.
Last week, the Federal Reserve just raised rates by 25 basis points. They say they’ll follow the data, but the data isn’t cooperating.
Kashkari stepped out to speak. Inflation is still too high—it's not just oil prices.
He added that employment is solid and the economy is resilient. Sounds like they don’t plan to let go.
The market understood. Betting on further rate hikes goes even higher.
For the crypto market, this storyline is too familiar. If rates don’t fall, valuations can’t lift their heads.
Bitcoin is hovering above $80,000. It hasn’t dropped, but it also hasn’t carved out its own trend.
Some people treat Bitcoin as an inflation hedge. But right now, it’s still shaking along with risk assets.
Gold first held steady. The safe-haven money still goes back to its old place—for now.
Next, there are more inflation reports to come. If the numbers beat expectations again, rates will be even harder to ease.
U.S. midterm elections are right around the corner. Voters are most sensitive to oil prices.
The White House wants to push oil prices down, but it only has sanctions and talking. The real valves are over with the oil-producing countries.
Don’t just stare at the K-line. Diesel, shipping rates, inflation, and interest rates are all tied to the same rope.
📌 The day diesel set a record, inflation clearly wasn’t planning to exit the stage.
Do you think the Fed will dare to truly raise rates next?
