Oil rose after OPEC's monthly report showed its output fell 751,000 bpd in December to 31.58 million bpd, the largest monthly drop in almost two years. OPEC also cut its 2019 demand forecast for its crude by 910,000 bpd.
OPEC's production cuts tighten supply, supporting crude prices, while the lower demand forecast tempers the rally. Energy price moves affect biofuel and feed-ingredient costs.
