# Diesel prices soften, but watching U.S. infrastructure plan - Manitoba Co-operator

> Canadian diesel prices across the Prairies are near $1 per litre, held down by lower crude and a softer Canadian dollar. Oil Price Information Service analyst Tom Kloza expects prices to trickle lower but sees the long-term bias as higher, with harvest-season diesel likely costing more than seeding season. He also flagged US President Trump's proposed $1 trillion infrastructure plan as a possible source of diesel demand growth.
