Before the war with Iran, it was under four bucks. The intent of an export ban is to keep available supplies of diesel inside the country, thus lowering the price.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n At least, that\u2019s the theory.<\/span><\/p>\n In practice, an export ban could have the unintended effect of <\/span>increasing<\/span><\/i> fuel prices, according to analysts at Goldman Sachs and Pimco. It\u2019s complicated, but in essence, an export ban could trigger a domino effect that ends with reduced fuel supplies and, therefore, higher prices.<\/span><\/p>\n Faced with lower prices than they might have gotten on the global markets, refineries might cut production, Daan Struyven and his team at Goldman said in a note: \u201cDiesel, gasoline, and jet fuel are largely produced together. Therefore, downward pressure on diesel production can mean downward pressure on gasoline production, i.e. upward price pressure on gasoline.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Inevitably, reduced supply of diesel to Europe would raise global prices. \u201cOnce a diesel export ban is lifted, U.S. diesel prices would likely reconnect with prices elsewhere, including Europe, putting upward pressure on U.S. diesel prices and downward pressure on prices abroad. Even so, post-ban global refined oil product prices would likely be higher,\u201d Struyven said.<\/span><\/p>\n And, Pimco\u2019s Libby Cantrill says, the U.S. is a big place. Its existing pipelines and shipping routes mean that \u201cmuch of the U.S. is reliant on diesel imported from other countries, not from domestic production.\u201d If domestic pipelines are already at capacity, then \u201chaving more diesel in the Gulf area would not necessarily help the farmers,\u201d she advised clients recently. \u201cAlthough that won\u2019t stop the political arm of the White House to push for it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Another bad day in the bond market. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury hit 5.34% this morning before recovering a little to 5.32%. The last time it was that high was 25 years ago. In the U.K., 30-year gilts hit 6%\u2014a level last seen in 1998, <\/span>according to the FT<\/em><\/span>. Japanese 10-year bonds went over 3%, a level they last saw in 1996. (Yields rise as bond prices fall.)<\/span><\/p>\n The selling was probably triggered by fear of inflation driven by the continued high price of oil. But there was also an element of contagion as falling prices forced hedge funds to sell out of their positions, thus increasing yields even further.
