The market is speaking.
A US diesel export ban is no longer being treated as just words. Look at today's price action:
European diesel futures: +5.02%
US diesel futures: +1.8%
Brent: +1.47%
WTI: +0.93%
The divergence is telling.
A US diesel export ban would trap more diesel domestically, potentially reduce US refinery runs and leave more crude available in the US, while cutting off a key source of diesel supply to the rest of the world.
That explains why Brent is outperforming WTI and European diesel is surging relative to US diesel.
Europe is already on the edge of a fuel crisis. Restricting US diesel exports could push it further into one.
The market is beginning to price that risk.

RUSSIAN CRUDE IS TRADING ABOVE BRENT. That tells you where the real oil market stands.
Sanctioned Urals crude: ~$110/bbl (pre-war discount was ~5%, later widened past 30%).
Russia's ESPO crude: trading above $120/bbl, with cargo premiums over Brent hitting a record $20-30.
China is locking in Russian supply months ahead. India keeps buying big volumes too.
Meanwhile, futures show:
Brent: ~$104.5
WTI: ~$100.3
The price on your screen is not the price refiners are paying to secure actual barrels.
Physical supply security is commanding a premium.
The oil market is fragmenting. The benchmark is increasingly failing to capture the full cost of securing crude where it is needed.
