A (Little) Deal With The Devil
The diesel supply agreement with Russia is a very very temporary respite (though a great headline and discussion point in the business media!!) to a difficult demand/supply situation that must have other resolutions to be lasting.
By my estimates the diesel agreement is less than two days usage for the U.S. — it is a Band-Aid.
The immediate response was for about a 4% decline in the price of diesel.
I am expanding my shorts on the news.
