We discuss an update on a friend's diesel fuel hedging strategy as of October 4th, 2024.
The friend initially placed a hedge betting on rising diesel prices without a clear exit plan.
As trends showed a potential reversal by early September, we suggested giving the strategy more time.

We evaluate daily and weekly charts, noting current resistance and advising a reassessment of diesel fuel purchases.
While currently neutral to bearish, we suggest becoming bullish if prices surpass a certain level.
