A hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico has forced the shutdown of 1.28 million barrels per day of offshore oil production, representing nearly 63% of the region's output. This disruption threatens supply and supports higher WTI crude prices, which are currently testing key technical support levels. Brent crude also faces pressure amid global inventory declines and OPEC+ production policies. The extent of damage to offshore infrastructure over the weekend will be critical in determining how long the supply disruption lasts and its impact on oil prices going forward.
