Commerzbank analyst Eugen Weinberg says oil prices have fallen well below the $50-plus levels seen early in 2017, and diesel is about 10% lower than in winter. He expects OPEC discipline to slip in the second half of the year, which would push crude lower, while diesel prices stay firmer on rising demand.
