WTI news for September 11, 2026

WTI crude oil prices have surged past $100, reaching as high as $105, driven by a deepening Middle East supply crisis, mounting war risks, and falling U.S. crude inventories. The IEA has cut its 2026 oil supply outlook, citing delayed Gulf recovery, while the price rally has raised the odds of a U.S. interest rate hike amid sinking bonds. Despite the surge in oil prices, oil company stocks have moved lower.
