Is the US-Russia diesel deal more than just symbolic?

• Trump announced a deal with Putin to deliver up to 36 million barrels of diesel fuel to global markets to alleviate shortages.
• National average diesel prices are $6.28, significantly higher than $3.68 one year ago, with current shortages attributed to underinvestment in refining capacity.
• U.S. 30-year fixed mortgage rates have climbed to 7.4% (from 6.3% a year ago), reaching a three-year high and stalling home sales.
• Proposed solutions for the housing market include reducing regulatory costs for home construction and implementing federal fiscal discipline to lower bond yields and mortgage rates.
