WTI news for September 24, 2026
WTI has been moving with shifting expectations around U.S.-Iran diplomacy, easing toward near $89.00 to below $91.50 on hopes for progress and then recovering when talks fell short of a breakthrough. Prices were also shaped by tight supply signals and Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabia outweighing Hormuz deal hopes, alongside mixed U.S. inventory data showing higher total crude stocks with lower production and gasoline demand.
