The US president is meeting refiner executives on September 1 to address fuel prices, which have risen since the US strikes on Iran. US petrol averages over $4 a gallon and diesel nearly $6, and US refining capacity is near its limit (about 18 million barrels a day, down from 19 million in 2020). For a Thai SME, this is background on the global oil outlook rather than a direct change: keep diesel and fuel cost assumptions under review, since tight global refining supports prices. No action is needed from this article alone.
