WTI bias flipped 2 times to neutral on September 27, 2026
WTI has been moving with shifting headlines around U.S.-Iran tensions and the Hormuz standoff, including a missile strike near Hormuz and debate over a truce proposal. Prices jumped higher at the Globex open for the new week and held gains amid inflation risk, after earlier falling on hopes for a truce. Focus remains on diplomacy, with talks expected next week alongside comments about negotiating in good faith and readiness to resume war.
