# The Commodities Feed: Oil in wait-and-see mode ahead of Trump Vs. Putin | articles | ING THINK

> Oil prices edged lower ahead of the Friday Trump-Putin meeting, with the market weighing whether it would ease sanctions risk. OPEC left its 2025 demand and non-OPEC+ supply forecasts unchanged, while raising 2026 demand growth and cutting non-OPEC+ supply growth. The EIA slightly raised its 2025 U.S. crude output estimate.

## Why it matters

Lower crude prices reduce biofuel and energy input costs, which can weigh on vegetable oil and corn ethanol values. A tighter 2026 outlook from OPEC offers some support for energy prices.
