Crude oil rose on market speculation that OPEC+ would keep its current output policy unchanged. The policy, announced in October, cut the group's production target by 2 million barrels per day starting in November.
Brent was up about 1% near $84 and WTI was up about 1% near $79.
Expectations of continued OPEC+ output cuts support crude and diesel prices, which feed the cost of freight and processing.
