El diesel en EE.UU. supera los $6 por galón por conflictos en Ucrania e Irán

Según CNBC, el precio del diesel en Estados Unidos superó los $6 por galón, estableciendo un récord, mientras las interrupciones de suministro relacionadas con los conflictos en Ucrania e Irán estrecharon el mercado. Reportes anteriores de Reuters también indicaron que el promedio nacional superó los $6, y CBS señaló un aumento del 61 % interanual acercándose a esa cifra.

PBS vinculó el alza a la tensión en Oriente Medio, la reducción del flujo de crudo por el estrecho de Hormuz y a limitaciones en las refinerías. AP había informado un récord de $5,85 por galón durante el conflicto Irán-Israel, y The Drive destacó un incremento del 50 % de $3,70 a $5,60 por galón en el último año.
