白宫正在准备一项为期90天的柴油出口禁令。
实施这一禁令所依据的法律程序目前尚不明确，不过美国总统特朗普倾向于在本周结束前提出这一措施。
如果实施，这将是特朗普政府迄今为缓解燃料成本飙升采取的力度最大措施，也凸显出11月中期选举临近之际共和党面临的压力。
特朗普本周早些时候曾表示，他已敦促顾问支持禁止美国柴油出口。不过，能源行业人士强烈反对潜在的出口限制，认为这类措施只能在短期内压低价格，之后反而可能导致燃料成本涨的更高。
根据美国汽车协会（AAA）的数据，美国零售柴油价格已经升至历史最高水平，每加仑突破6.50美元。
美国柴油期货一度下跌逾7%，随后收窄部分跌幅。与此同时，欧洲柴油期货上涨。
