> Diesel prices in Germany rose sharply on Saturday as tensions around the Bab el-Mandeb Strait escalated amid a Houthi offensive in Yemen, Bild reported. The national average reached 2.56 euros per liter, about 20 cents above its previous level, while Agrarheute forecast prices could climb to 3 euros because of the maritime blockade and stronger biodiesel demand.
