  "account": "Oil prices climbed closer to $100 per barrel on Wednesday following President Trump's suggestion of a diesel export ban the prior day. Industry experts cautioned that such a restriction could backfire on the global supply of fuel. Brent crude futures for November delivery were reported near $100 per barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures were around $90 a barrel. On Tuesday, Trump declared his support for a diesel fuel export ban during a UN General Assembly event. He explained that the United States produces significant amounts of diesel fuel, and such a ban could impact regular automobile gasoline by altering the balance of fuel flows. The national average price of diesel fuel reached an all-time high of $6.52 per gallon, according to AAA. Analysts anticipate a diesel export ban would further tighten global energy prices. Citi analysts argued that a US diesel export restriction could significantly reduce global supply and benefit Asian refiners. Wall Street believes US refineries would struggle to process all trapped domestic fuel, ultimately diminishing total fuel supplies. While Gulf states might experience localized relief, other regions reliant on fuel imports could witness a spike in pump prices, particularly on the East Coast and West Coast. Analyst Garret Golding from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas added that a diesel export ban could lead to higher prices across the country, especially for those depending on fuel imports. Petroleum analyst Patrick De Haan from GasBuddy noted that regular gasoline prices hovered near a seasonal national average high of $4.47 on Wednesday.",
