歐洲央行管委雷恩：長期利率上升將減緩經濟增長，並降低能源衝擊對價格和工資的傳導效應。

European countries are consulting on releasing diesel stocks after the US threatened to ban diesel exports if strategic reserves are not tapped. A European Commission spokesperson said Brussels is in close contact with member states to coordinate next steps and is holding high-level talks with the US. Industry sources estimate Europe may hold up to 400 mln barrels of diesel across commercial stocks and reserves; a release could pressure global diesel prices. Rapidan founder Bob McNally said European governments have not fulfilled pledged strategic stock releases, including diesel, and that US export curbs could be eased if Europe moves to withdraw pledged supplies.
