Crude Oil - Summary

Crude oil rose to around $93 per barrel on Tuesday after falling for four consecutive sessions, but held most of the decline amid easing supply concerns in the Middle East and growing diplomatic efforts to end the US-Iran war.

Trump is also expected to hold discussions with other Gulf nations and Chinese President Xi Jinping this week.

Crude Oil
Crude oil is one of the most widely followed commodities in the world due to its central role in the global economy. It is a key source of energy, a critical input for transportation and manufacturing, and a major driver of inflation and geopolitical dynamics. As a result, movements in oil prices are closely monitored by governments, businesses, and investors alike. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil is classified as light and sweet, where “light” refers to its low density and “sweet” indicates its low sulfur content. The delivery point for WTI crude oil futures is the Cushing Hub in Oklahoma, and each futures contract represents 1,000 barrels of crude oil. Crude oil prices displayed on Trading Economics are based on over-the-counter (OTC) and contract for difference (CFD) financial instruments and are intended to provide a general market reference only. These prices do not represent official WTI crude oil prices. Official pricing and settlement data for WTI crude oil futures should be obtained directly from NYMEX. The data is supplied by a third party and, while efforts are made to ensure its reliability, Trading Economics does not verify the data and makes no representations or warranties.
