What it means
Russia's diesel export ban — prompted by domestic shortages and Ukrainian drone strikes on fuel infrastructure — has historically been associated with short-term tightening in global distillate markets, which can lift heating oil and diesel futures. A modest crude risk premium may also appear, though Russia's overall oil export volumes are not yet directly disrupted, keeping the broader crude impact limited.
