Diesel stays rare for a long time. The energy agency says this. Heating oil is also part of this. The prices are very high. Russia sells less oil now. The Middle East has trouble too. Factories face attacks there. Oil storage is almost empty. This is a problem before winter. Factories make too little oil.
High prices hurt the economy. Goods get more expensive. Many people have less money to live. The energy agency helps now. They open hidden oil storage. This is 100 million barrel oil. One barrel is 159 liter oil. This lowers prices. The situation stays hard.
Maybe late 2024 brings relief. Factories work more then. Storage fills up slowly. Enough oil comes in 2027. Prices drop then maybe. Buyers must watch out until then. State tax cuts do not always help. They make shortages even worse.
