WTI bias flipped 41 times to bullish on October 13, 2026
WTI has seen choppy trading near the $90 to $94 level as Middle East tensions compete with Russian diesel supplies for influence. Headlines point to Saudi attacks, including reported booms near Aramco HQ in Dhahran, intensifying supply risks while OPEC sees a demand rebound. Those Middle East supply risks at times overshadowed the Russian diesel deal, while at other times the inflows offset geopolitical escalation, leaving crude settlements mixed with Brent near $106.
