# Easing in the Diesel Supply Ahead - DHL Freight Connections

> Commerzbank analysts expect diesel supply to ease in the coming months due to seasonal demand weakness, strong US production growth, and speculators pulling back. Brent crude rose above $65 per barrel, its highest in about two and a half years, helped by speculative buying. A weaker dollar has cushioned euro-based diesel prices.
