Diesel Prices Fall to $5.21/g Amid Declining Inventories

The average weekly retail diesel price in the U.S. fell to $5.21/g, the lowest since early March, marking the fifth consecutive week of price declines totaling 43 cents per gallon. This follows a previous average of $4.859/g on March 9 and $5.071/g a week later. Despite falling prices, total U.S. inventories dropped to 1.573 billion barrels, the lowest in over two years. The disconnect between the DOE/EIA and AAA average prices, currently at $5.317/g, is raising concerns among traders regarding global inventory levels and market stability.
