What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Hurricane Isaias shut in 1.28 million barrels per day of US Gulf oil output, removing 62.89% of current Gulf production. This supply shock, combined with tanker attacks near the Strait of Hormuz, supported a rise in the USO fund tracking WTI crude to US$147.58. Separately, President Donald Trump stated he would not attack Iran before November’s midterm elections.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The sudden reduction in US Gulf oil output sharply tightened the US benchmark. The statement from President Donald Trump briefly eased the geopolitical risk premium. Petrobras shares rose 2.92% to US$24.69, outpacing the WTI tracker as the Brazilian state producer leveraged the higher crude benchmarks.
