Low water levels on the Rhine are holding back barge movements of ultra-low-sulfur diesel to inland markets. Cargo imports into the ARA hub continue to meet peak summer driving demand, which has built a backlog at the port.
River constraints on European fuel distribution raise logistics costs and can tighten regional diesel supply, which lifts freight costs for European grain and feed movements.
After 113 past bullish logistics events, DIESEL moved a median +0.6% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -2.8% to +4.2%), and +0.2% over 20.
