U.S. oil producers are restoring output after a powerful winter storm disrupted operations nationwide and pressured energy infrastructure and power grids. Domestic production remains about 600,000 barrels per day below normal levels, or roughly 4% of total output, but the resumption of activity is easing earlier supply concerns. The recovery in U.S. shale volumes is a key factor for global benchmarks including Oil – US Crude and Oil – Brent Crude, while associated gas flows and weather-driven demand continue to influence Natural Gas pricing and volatility.

Over the past month, Oil – US Crude has advanced about 8.18%, supported by weather-related supply disruptions and expectations that short-term outages could tighten inventories, while its 1-day technical outlook currently flashes a Buy bias. Natural Gas has climbed roughly 21.06% in the same period, reflecting strong seasonal demand and infrastructure stresses, and its near-term technical read also stands at Buy, indicating momentum remains skewed to the upside. Brent Crude has gained about 9.03% over the month, outpacing U.S. crude slightly as global traders price in both U.S. weather disruptions and broader supply-risk premia; its 1-day technical signal likewise points to Buy.
