WTI bias flipped 24 times to bullish on September 16, 2026
WTI has traded around $98.50 to $106 amid escalating Middle East supply disruptions and supply fears, with rising oil noted as overshadowing the Fed decision. Prices above $100 have been linked to new records in U.S. fuel prices, while prices have at times eased as the Saudi supply outlook improved and U.S. inventories rose.
