Crude oil futures extended their gains and surged on Tuesday, as Gulf Coast refineries resumed operations, following the disruptions caused by Hurricane Harvey last week. Prices were supported by a stronger dollar and concerns about rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. Just a week after Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Irma is bearing down on Caribbean islands and may be heading for the Gulf of Mexico as a category 4 or 5 storm.

Benchmark crude oil futures for October delivery ended up by $1.37 or 2.91 percent to $48.66 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. In London, Brent crude for October delivery ended higher by 1.70 percent at $53.24 a barrel on the ICE.
