WTI bias flipped 50 times to bullish on September 21, 2026
WTI crude has fallen for a fourth straight day to near $93.50, snapping a two-week winning streak. The move follows easing Middle East supply fears on hopes for U.S.-Iran diplomacy and increased oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, with reports of resilient Saudi crude supplies outweighing the Middle East risk premium. A report that Saudi Aramco halted crude supply to European customers was also noted during this period.
