While a lot is being said about a potential deal for Russia to supply more diesel, it may be difficult to achieve. The psychological impact may reduce prices temporarily but it’ll take more time to determine if Russia has such ability. Some impact short term, perhaps 10-20c/gal.

Trump’s deal to buy Russian diesel from Putin just weeks before the midterms funnels money directly into Russia’s war machine. Trump is now facing calls for Congress to block the deal and impeach him. Meanwhile, energy analysts say it’s unlikely to even make a dent in fuel prices.
