WTI bias flipped 34 times to bullish on September 29, 2026
WTI has moved between near $91.00 and above $94.50 as traders weigh rebounding Middle East exports and higher Hormuz volumes against Middle East jitters. Qatari-mediated U.S.-Iran talks, a Saudi pipeline restart, and reports on Saudi flows have been in focus, while Trump’s rejection of a Hormuz reopening plan and the U.S.-Iran stalemate coincided with extended gains. Prices have also pulled back at times as investors await further U.S.-Iran diplomacy developments.
