# Oil rises on concerns global political risks could tighten supplies

> Oil prices rose over 2% on January 25, 2022, with Brent settling at $88.20 a barrel, as concerns over Ukraine-Russia tensions, threats to UAE infrastructure and OPEC+ struggles to meet output targets tightened supply expectations. Prices rose despite equity weakness and expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike.

## Why it matters

Higher crude raises diesel and fertilizer costs for feed producers and supports biofuel-linked demand for vegetable oils. Geopolitical supply risk points to firmer energy-linked feed input costs.
