nl.investing.com (Dutch)

The Trump administration is considering a 90-day ban on diesel exports to lower domestic energy prices before midterm elections, causing refinery stocks and diesel futures to fall on Wednesday. Marathon Petroleum dropped 1.5%, Valero Energy lost 1.9%, and PBF Energy fell 2.9%, while U.S. ultra-low-sulfur diesel futures declined over 6.3%. European diesel futures rose up to 7% on the news. The proposal faces internal disagreements and industry opposition, with legal implementation still being developed. It would mark the first U.S. energy export restriction since the 2015 lifting of the crude oil export ban.
