Kpler analysts say Russia's July 8 diesel export ban, scheduled to run until July 31, will not cause a large balance shift because volumes were already curtailed. The ban arrives as the US-Iran ceasefire has collapsed and Strait of Hormuz tensions have re-escalated.
Brazil is expected to draw more diesel from the US, as it did during the 2023 ban.
Expected substitution by Brazil toward US Gulf Coast diesel would tighten US supply and support prices there. Renewed Hormuz disruption adds upward pressure on crude and refined product costs.
