Brent crude climbed $5 a barrel to settle at $84.93 after Saudi Arabia and other OPEC+ producers announced cuts of about 1.16 million barrels per day. WTI settled up $4.75 at $80.42, and the S&P energy sector rose 4.9%.
The supply cut lifts crude prices and energy costs, raising diesel and freight expenses for grain and feed logistics. Stronger energy prices also support biofuel-linked vegetable oil demand.

Moves of each commodity's benchmark from the last close before the event. Historical reads pool past events of the same kind; they describe what happened, not what will. Not investment advice.
Brent's $5 jump to $84.93 settlement on the roughly 1.16 mb/d OPEC+ cuts is the move itself, driven by a supply reduction.
