After U.S. diesel prices soared to record highs, the Trump administration is seriously considering a diesel export ban. Goldman Sachs' model shows that although the ban may initially reduce domestic diesel prices in the United States, diesel storage tanks will approach their upper limit after 9 to 10 weeks. Refinery production cuts may lead to a decrease in gasoline supply, pushing up U.S. retail gasoline prices. At the same time, diesel prices in Europe and Latin America may rise. Prices will rebound after the ban is lifted, and global inventories may not be able to recover immediately. Instead, Goldman Sachs is bullish on European gasoline in 2027, as high diesel profits will indirectly compress gasoline supply.
