WTI news for September 25, 2026
WTI has whipsawed around the $91 level as hopes for U.S.-Iran diplomatic progress alternated with doubts about a breakthrough. Prices fell on signs of progress and hopes around Hormuz, while Middle East tensions and tight supply signals including a diesel crunch supported gains. The back-and-forth left crude ending a volatile week with lower prices.
