An Investing.com analysis says most signals point to OPEC extending its production cut at the May 25 meeting for at least three more months. It notes that a failed extension could cause oil prices to drop significantly, while an extension would likely lift prices and stabilize them in the low $50 range.
The extension decision is the main swing factor for crude prices in the coming weeks, and crude feeds into diesel, fertilizer and freight costs for feed producers.
