## Resource

As summer travel is getting into its stride, European supply chains for diesel and gasoline are geared to meet the seasonal uptick in road fuel demand. However, with production operating near capacity, demand may outpace available supply, possibly altering consumption patterns and prompting end-users to switch to alternative modes of transport. In this episode, Gary Clark, Friedrich Gutsche, Sophia Aung, and Elza Turner uncover how recent price developments in European road fuel markets amid easing supply tightness have been providing relief for end-consumers. Tune in to find out how the World Cup, government policy, and the Middle Eastern conflict are shaping local fuel prices.
