The price of diesel in the United States reached a new record, hitting $5.85 per gallon. This value represents a significant milestone in the country's fuel market.
The price increase was driven by three main factors: instability in the Persian Gulf, reduced refining capacity, and attacks on Russian refineries. These elements contributed to additional pressure on the global fuel supply.
The increase significantly aggravates transportation and American industry costs. Logistics and transportation companies face growing fuel expenses, which tend to be passed on to final consumers.
The situation occurs in a context of persistent inflation in the United States, making the moment particularly challenging for the country's economy and the purchasing power of the population.
