President Donald Trump announced that Russia has agreed to an immediate supply of over 300,000 metric tons of diesel to U.S. and global markets. Oilprice.com reported that Russia is set to supply an additional 500,000 tons in November followed by 1 million tons, bringing the initial tranches to approximately 13 million barrels.

The supply boost coincides with Germany's commitment to release up to 15 million barrels of diesel, heating oil, and crude from its strategic reserves.
