The average U.S. diesel price fell below $6 a gallon on Saturday, Nov. 14, for the first time in two months, according to GasBuddy, at $5.998.
The decline came as geopolitical tension eased and seasonal demand weakened. Earlier in the year, prices had risen sharply after disruptions to oil supply linked to the Iran conflict and Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries.
Lower diesel prices reduce freight and farm fuel costs, which eases pressure on feed transport and grain logistics. The price is still far above earlier levels, so the relief for feed buyers is limited.
