0950 ET - Disruption of oil and product flows out of the Persian Gulf is causing diesel and jet fuel prices to soar. "Weekend attacks between Israel, the U.S. and Iran, and subsequent retaliations--including strikes on Ras Tanura and Duqm--have sent shockwaves through global diesel and jet markets," James Noel-Beswick of Sparta Commodities says in a note, referring to Iranian drone attacks on Saudi Arabia's Tanura refinery and Oman's Duqm port. "Diesel but particularly jet faces an acute European squeeze," he says. "The trajectory for both diesel and jet now hinges on the scale and duration of escalation." ICE Futures of Europe gasoil are up 19% at $898.25 a metric ton. Nymex diesel climbs 14% to $2.9699 a gallon. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
