Europe faces summer demand uptick

Supply operates near capacity

As summer travel gets into its stride, European supply chains for diesel and gasoline are geared to meet the seasonal uptick in road fuel demand.

In this episode, Gary Clark, Friedrich Gutsche, Sophia Aung and Elza Turner uncover how recent price developments in European road fuel markets amid easing supply tightness have provided relief for end-consumers. Tune in to find out how the World Cup, government policy and the Middle Eastern conflict are shaping local fuel prices.
