WTI settled at $103.41 a barrel on March 1, 2022, after trading above $106, as markets priced in the risk of Russian supply loss from sanctions. The IEA agreed to release 60 million barrels from global stockpiles, but the move failed to ease concerns.

Higher crude and diesel costs raise freight, fertilizer and processing expenses across the feed chain. Disrupted Russian exports of grains and energy also tighten global supply and support feed commodity prices.
