WTI bias flipped 35 times to bullish on September 18, 2026
WTI has fallen for a third day to trade below $100, holding near $95 to $97.50. The decline follows hopes for higher Saudi crude supply as Saudi Arabia moves to restore a vital pipeline and alternative routes recover. U.S. stocks shrinking less than expected has also eased near-term supply concerns.
