## Resource

As traffic inches back through the Strait of Hormuz, oil and product flows remain constrained, sending buyers scrambling to replace Middle East barrels and lock in reliable diesel supply. With nearly 6 million b/d of Middle East refining capacity at stake, and roughly 4 million b/d of refined products flows, diesel prices have soared, opening export opportunities. Where are buyers turning for diesel, and what policy tools are governments using to soften price shocks? Jeff Mower , Americas Oil News Director, unpacks these issues with Brazil Refined Products Manager Renato Rostas , Americas Middle Distillates Managing Editor Aaron Tucker , and Mexico Energy Editor Sheky Espejo .
