01 THE MACHINE READ
WHY IT MATTERS.
Diesel above $6 raises transport and freight costs, feeding inflation while a policy fix signals political pressure on fuel prices.

CATALYST TO WATCH
Whether diesel supply disruptions ease or persist
MAIN RISK
Cheaper dyed diesel may not fix supply shortfall
FULL DISPATCH
The U.S. national average price of diesel topped $6 a gallon in September for the first time ever, as fuel supply disruptions pushed up transportation costs in the country.
