What happened
Crude oil prices rebounded after sharp losses, with Brent trading at $99.59 per barrel and WTI at $91.34. This recovery followed Democrats sweeping control of the US House of Representatives and Senate, creating a legislative check on Donald Trump’s administration. Global refining operations continue to deal with supply disruptions stemming from the Middle East conflict.

Why it matters
The market rebound occurred alongside a political shift, as Democrats established a legislative check on Donald Trump’s administration. Simultaneously, the global oil industry is still managing the impact of supply disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz, which weighs heavily on refinery operations.
