The USDA weekly grain transport report showed the average US diesel price rising 21.8 cents to $4.796 per gallon, ending a nine-week decline. Grain carloads were 12% above last year over four weeks, and barge and ocean freight indicators were steady.
A sharp diesel jump raises trucking and rail fuel surcharges, lifting the cost of moving grain and feed to market. Higher freight costs weigh on farm-gate and delivered feed values.
After 109 past bullish report events, ULSD / Diesel moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -3.3% to +3.9%), and +0.3% over 20.
