Bob Yawger, director of energy futures at Mizuho in New York, said the restart of production and refining in the US Gulf Coast led to a sell-off in oil contracts over the weekend. He predicted that with refineries running at full capacity and oil and gasoline production fully supplied, the market could face a sharp decline in prices.

Oil futures rose slightly last week after recovering from a storm-related decline earlier in the week. Brent crude rose about 0.8% since Friday's close, while WTI rose 1.4%. Official data showed the storm knocked out nearly 42% of oil production in an area that accounts for about 15% of total U.S. output. In addition, the number of U.S. oil and natural gas rigs unexpectedly rose to 590, marking the largest weekly increase in a year, according to Baker Hughes Energy Services Group.

Both the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and the International Energy Agency (IEA) have revised down their forecasts for global demand growth due to the impact of economic difficulties in China, the world's largest oil importer. Meanwhile, the US Energy Information Administration reported that US oil inventories rose last week due to increased crude imports and reduced crude exports, while fuel demand is showing signs of weakening. Investors are now focused on the US Federal Reserve's two-day policy meeting scheduled to take place next week, with speculation that the Fed may cut interest rates.
