Demand for crude oil and declines in Texas Intermediate crude.
Americas1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported25m ago
The price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil experienced notable fluctuations across Thursday and Friday, driven by shifting global economic forecasts and geopolitical tensions. On Thursday, WTI closed down 2.4% at $81.25 per barrel, following a downward revision of crude demand forecasts for the remainder of the year by the International Energy Agency.
Market direction reversed on Friday as WTI prices climbed 1.4% to close at $82.40 per barrel. This increase was attributed by market observers to the ongoing lack of diplomatic progress in resolving the conflict between the United States and Iran, which sustained supply risk premiums.
