Turkey to receive diesel from US-Russia supply deal, minister says
What happened
Turkey's energy minister said the country will get some diesel from a US-Russia supply deal. The announcement signals a rare energy cooperation between the US and Russia involving Turkey as a recipient.
What it means for markets
The deal could ease diesel supply tightness in Turkey, potentially lowering regional diesel prices. If this signals broader US-Russia energy coordination, it may pressure crude and diesel prices down. Watch for any expansion of the deal to other products or countries.
