Kommentar: Ein Dieselpreis von drei Euro pro Liter ist nicht mehr völlig abwegig
Diesel kostet an deutschen Tankstellen bereits 2,40 Euro. Und es könnte noch schlimmer kommen. Die Lage bei Ölprodukten ist dramatischer als bei Öl.
Diesel prices in Germany have risen to 2.40 euros per liter, raising concerns among drivers. A recent attack on the East-West pipeline in Saudi Arabia could lead to diesel prices reaching three euros per liter. The pipeline, which transports nearly four million barrels of oil per day, had helped prevent oil prices from rising further.
If Saudi Arabia cannot repair the pipeline within days, the oil market could face a new level of scarcity. However, the current situation is relatively stable compared to the market for oil products. While the price of Brent crude has increased by 75 percent since the beginning of the year, the term contract for diesel in Europe has risen by 141 percent.
