While Biden's policies are affecting the supply side, we must also look at the demand side. Oil prices cratered at the height of the covid lockdowns as everyone anticipated reduced economic activity. Prices gradually recovered as lockdowns gradually eased, and steadily increased as vaccines started rolling out. This is the demand side equation - with economic activity returning back to pre-covid levels oil prices are increasing to meet demand.
