President Trump is reportedly weighing a ban or restriction on U.S. diesel exports to lower domestic fuel prices, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Energy Secretary Chris Wright among the officials involved in the discussions. Polymarket traders have pulled back the odds of an announcement, and the source says markets may be skeptical about the policy's immediacy or feasibility.
President Trump is reportedly considering a ban or restriction on U.S. diesel exports to lower domestic fuel prices, according to a New York Times Politics report. The potential move comes amid ongoing White House discussions about rising fuel costs, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Energy Secretary Chris Wright among the officials involved. Despite the discussions, markets do not appear to be reading the developments as raising the likelihood of an immediate announcement.
On Polymarket, the odds of a diesel export ban being announced by September 30 fell from 6% to 3.5% over the past 24 hours. The chance of an announcement by November 1 also declined, dropping from 22% to 11%.
The declines in both contracts suggest markets may be skeptical about the immediacy or feasibility of such a policy being enacted in the near term, even as Bessent and Wright continue weighing options with the White House to ease oil and fuel costs.
