The EIA’s November outlook raised its 2027 diesel price forecast to $5.03 per gallon. It cited falling global oil inventories, tanker attacks, constrained shipping capacity, and higher transport costs, while projecting Brent near $100 per barrel for the rest of 2026 and averaging $77 in the fourth quarter of 2027.
A higher diesel outlook points to continued pressure on agricultural transport and production costs, which could support delivered feed prices. The forecast also reflects tight crude supply in the near term, although the EIA expects prices to ease as inventories rebuild in 2027.
