Summary

  • More than 760,000 barrels of diesel were put out to tender by Germany's oil stockpiling agency EBV earlier this week to refill strategic reserves, an agency official confirmed Tuesday.
  • The purchase adds demand to an already tight diesel market, raising the prospect of further pressure on fuel availability and pricing.
  • EBV had already sought almost 630,000 barrels in late June, showing Germany is continuing a broader effort to rebuild mandatory stockpiles.
