Oil prices experienced a slight recovery following the U.S. presidential election, as traders weighed the potential impact of Donald Trump’s victory on oil supply and demand.

Additionally, Hurricane Rafael in the Gulf of Mexico is contributing to supply concerns, temporarily halting some oil production in the region.
