Oil prices rose in recent days after supplies were hit due to Hurricane Ida. Oil production in the Gulf of Mexico region was closed after the storm struck late last month.

According to the US Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSSE), around 92.51 percent of the total output from the Gulf of Mexico remained shut as of September 4. The effects of these disruptions continue to linger. In addition, higher production cost may have pushed up the prices. OPEC also plans to boost daily production by around 400,000 barrels.
