Energy traders pushed oil prices up on anticipation of disruptions in output in the Gulf of Mexico and on growing expectations OPEC+ might resist raising output amid surging Delta virus cases across oil consuming nations. A weaker dollar also lent support to oil complex since a weaker dollar makes oil less expensive.
