Fuel markets flash supply crunch despite calmer oil prices

Gasoline and diesel markets are indicating a looming fuel supply crunch even as crude oil prices remain relatively subdued, implying the Iran-war-related energy shock is not over. The divergence suggests tighter refined-product availability could pressure regional fuel markets and input costs despite softer crude signals. Net: a negative near-term setup for transport/energy-linked pricing with potential for short-term volatility.
