Coming out of the pandemic, many were expecting things to go back to normal. But that has not happened, he noted. Fears of a global recession, and the fact that America is \u201ctwo quarters into what defines a recession\u201d is affecting commodity markets, including oil.<\/p>\n<p>Crude oil production in the country has been increasing since 2020 following a drop during the initial period of the COVID-19 pandemic.
