However, the slow recovery of crude oil production in the Gulf of Mexico and the unexpected drop in US crude oil inventories stimulated the rise of oil prices. The transit of hurricanes "Ida" and "Nicholas" affected energy production in the Gulf of Mexico. Currently, nearly 30% of crude oil and natural gas production capacity is still closed, and the operating rate of refineries is also far from the level before the hurricane. According to data from the US Energy Information Administration, as of the week of September 10, US crude oil inventories decreased by 6.42 million barrels from the previous month to the lowest level since September 2019, which was significantly lower than market expectations and was the sixth consecutive week of decline.

"OPEC+" slowly relaxes its production reduction efforts, which also shows that oil-producing countries are more satisfied with the level of production profitability under the "tight balance" state. The latest OPEC report raised the forecast for this year's crude oil demand growth; International Energy Agency predicts that crude oil demand will increase by 1.6 million barrels per day in October and continue to grow until the end of the year. The market is still optimistic about the growth in demand for crude oil in the later period, but the development and changes of the epidemic will continue to disturb oil prices.
