Diesel prices are outrunning crude oil and gasoline because global refining capacity is constrained and distillate supply keeps leaving the market.

Alex Hodes, StoneX Director of Energy Market Strategy, explains to host Mike Castle why distillate has become the tightest link in the energy complex.

Constrained refining capacity, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on Russian refineries have pulled distillate out of global trade. Hodes and Castle also cover why Midwest diesel trades weak against New York Harbor while local inventories stay tight ahead of harvest.
