WTI bias flipped 46 times to neutral on October 9, 2026
WTI crude has moved higher, at one point rising above $90.00, as reports of Iran-related strike fears and attacks on tankers around Hormuz coincided with hurricane-related production shut-ins in the U.S. Gulf. Traders are weighing these overlapping supply risks, including Houthi attacks and Hurricane Isaias, with coverage noting that small disruptions are having an outsized impact on prices.
