(ANKARA) - Iran's threat to strike US bases in Europe if US President Donald Trump launches new attacks on the country has led to a rapid increase in diesel prices in global markets. The price per ton of diesel increased by $53 in a single day. Sector sources said, "A discount was expected for diesel after gasoline. However, prices increased. There will be no change in diesel until the middle of next week."
The remarks by Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran's Security Council, "If the Americans make a mistake and attack us, we will not limit ourselves to nearby bases. We could even target some American military bases in European countries," instantly upended expectations in the fuel market.
Sector representatives, in a statement to ANKA News Agency, noted that after US President Donald Trump said that new attacks on Iran would not be necessary, Brent oil and gasoline and diesel prices fell in global markets.
STATEMENTS FROM IRAN UPENDED CALCULATIONS
Recalling that a discount of 3 Turkish lira and 54 kuruş was made on gasoline today due to this decline, sources said, "A discount was also expected for diesel on Friday or Saturday. However, the statements from Iran instantly upended calculations."
NO CHANGE UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK
Sources, noting that after the remarks by Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran's Security Council, the price per ton of diesel in global markets rose by $53 in a single day, assessed, "A discount was expected for diesel after gasoline. However, prices increased. There will be no change in diesel until the middle of next week."
Sources stated that the price per ton of gasoline also increased somewhat in global markets, and said, "However, at this stage, there is no increase that would bring a price hike onto the agenda."
