Oil markets continue to rest after highs just days ago. The ceasefire is still in effect between Israel and Iran, helping keep a lid on fuel prices.
A gallon of diesel right now is around $3.70. AAA shows the same gallon cost $3.54 just a month ago. Despite the relatively quick climb, diesel is still cheaper than this time last year, when it was $3.79 a gallon. Right now, West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil is holding around $65 per barrel.
There were concerns earlier this week that Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global oil shipments. Those fears eased after a ceasefire agreement, but ethanol groups say the U.S. still needs a backup plan. The Renewable Fuels Association is urging the White House to expand storage and distribution of E15. CEO Geoff Cooper says a broader ethanol market could help contain future price spikes.
The Farm Bureau urges trade enforcement, biofuel growth, fair input pricing, and pro-farmer policy reforms to restore long-term certainty.
