> Brent crude rose 0.2% to $96.04 a barrel on November 13, while U.S. benchmark crude fell 0.4% to $88.39. Oil prices were mixed after President Trump said the U.S. did not need a deal with Iran as the Middle East conflict drags on.

## Why it matters

Crude remains near $90-$100 on continued Strait of Hormuz disruption, keeping diesel and fertilizer costs elevated for feed production and transport. Without a deal, energy-linked input costs for feed buyers stay high.
