WTI bias flipped 41 times to weak bullish on September 30, 2026
WTI has been moving between the high $80s and low $90s as Middle East supply headlines compete with U.S.-Iran diplomacy for attention. Reports of recovering Middle East exports, higher Hormuz volumes and a Saudi pipeline restart have been set against Qatari-mediated U.S.-Iran talks, a continuing stalemate, and denial of Iran sanctions relief. Investors remain focused on diplomatic developments, while the broader oil market has seen prices pull back from recent highs.
