WTI bias flipped 41 times to bullish on September 17, 2026
WTI slipped to near $100.50 after trading above $100, even as Middle East supply disruptions escalated. The pullback coincided with rising U.S. inventories and record-high crude production, with reports noting SPR and Cushing storage near 'tank bottoms.' Attention is also on Saudi Arabia's move to restore a vital pipeline and alternative oil routes from Yanbu to Sohar, while oil above $100 has pushed U.S. fuel prices to new records and put energy back at the center of global markets.
