WTI bias flipped 33 times to bearish on September 28, 2026
WTI crude has extended gains to trade above $94.50 after earlier holding above $92.00, with prices bouncing around on Iran-related headlines. The move follows reports that Trump rejected a Hormuz reopening plan and an Iran proposal, amid Middle East war fears with no signs of de-escalation. The oil rally coincided with higher yields, slipping European bourses and weaker tech futures.
