“ Oil prices remained volatile, however, amid concerns to the time it may take to clear the almost 500 ship backlog and expectations that OPEC members will hold their production cut agreement in place following their monthly meeting in Vienna later this week.”

Prior to that they were basically flat since 1990. The past two presidents saw an increase the first half of their years in office (4 years for Obama, 2 years for Trump), and a drop the last half. Not really sure a political conclusion is warranted here.
