WTI news for September 23, 2026
WTI has traded near $89.00 around two-week lows as the market follows U.S.-Iran talks, comments linked to Trump's UN speech, and wider Middle East developments including recovering Saudi flows and the Hormuz situation. U.S. inventory data showing higher total crude stocks alongside lower U.S. production and gasoline demand, plus talk around diesel exports, is also part of the current price context.
