Oil futures settled higher on Tuesday, posting their largest one-day gain in about two weeks, as traders anticipated OPEC+ would further delay unwinding production cuts. WTI rose 2.7% to $69.94 and Brent rose 2.5% to $73.62.
Expectations of continued OPEC+ supply restraint lift crude prices, raising diesel and freight costs and supporting vegetable oil and biofuel feedstock demand.
