On daily scale, nothing really. But Dubai's decision to leave OPEC sent futures into volatility. Last time checked WTI was 117 and Brent 109. Can u blame em? UAE basically opened doors to everyone willing to do business. All they wanted stability and security in return. And then comes the cheetos.

At what duration? You mentioned three months out, the WTI Aug contract is trading at $93.81 how is that not concerning? I mean that’s a 30% increase over pre war levels.

I love OBE. 2.2 billion in tax free sales on the way, infinite money printer with WTI over 100, and short interest > short float due to dumb oil bears.

WTI $105. Brent $109. And Fed is still blasting the money fire hose and expanding balance sheet. This FOMC always thinks it's transitory and always too slow to recognize inflation upside risk.

Not to be too specific, but my USO calls are June WTI have made almost as much as my GOOG $250s from last year. Lucky me. I did suffer in March. But I’m soaring in April like everyone else here (I hope).

If you compare SPY and WTI oil price directly, you will find out they stopped being correlated to each other since about 2 weeks ago.

I bought event contracts on RH that WTI won't dip back down to $85 by December 2026... I paid $15 with an expected $1,500 payout, and those contracts mysteriously disappeared overnight. Literally customer service is having to investigate lol. What a shit show man.

fan_of_hakiksexydays

If WTI is already at $100 when the market still thinks the oil crisis is old news and the war is over, on a Taco Tuesday with its "begging for a deal" tweet, I don't want to imagine how high the price will go when the rose glasses fall, even briefly.

Oil WTI above 100$ again......

Deep-Bench-2016

Got a question from my brother-in-law this weekend that I've been chewing on all morning: with oil at $99 WTI and Brent over $111, should he be rotating any of his retirement allocation into energy or defensive names? What finally clicked for me on this is that "rotation" is the wrong frame for someone holding a target-date fund or a 3-fund portfolio. The energy weight in VTI is already \~4% — it's there. If oil keeps ripping, you're already participating. The actual question to ask is whether your cash drag is appropriate given the inflation re-acceleration risk. Persistent $100+ oil for 3–6 months would push CPI back up and the Fed would have to delay cuts — which hits long-duration assets like growth and real estate disproportionately. The framework I've been using is to score my individual holdings across a few dimensions instead of just sector tilts: – Pricing power (can the company pass through cost increases?) – Cash flow durability (recurring vs. cyclical) – Balance sheet strength (low leverage matters way more in a high-rate, high-oil regime) – Valuation discipline (am I paying a growth multiple for what's actually a cyclical?) There's a screener app I've been using that breaks this kind of analysis into separate pillars instead of a single "buy/sell" signal — it's been useful for not getting whipsawed every time a macro headline drops. Lets me see why a name screens well, not just that it does. Tactical answer for the BIL: don't rotate. Make sure his allocation can survive sticky inflation, then let the energy weighting in his index funds do the work.

WTI to 120+ by mid May

Infurium

Is that why the june contract for Brent crude is $111, while the June WTI is $100? Oil isn't all the same price globally as people keep saying it is.

Fat_tail_investor

One thing to note though is that the war in Iran has cut off 15% to 20% of global oil supply. With demand being fairly inelastic, prices will naturally go up. Now should it be 15% to 20% in lockstep with the supply constraints? Unlikely, markets are non-linear, and the most common outcome is about a 2x factor as market participants work through greater logistically costs as well as volatility (ie as price volatility expands, I need additional buffer to make up for the fact that if I buy a barrel today for delivery tomorrow, prices can drop 15% overnight via a tweet and I’m left holding the bag). That’s not to say price gauging isn’t happening, but only that given current market dynamics, we should reasonably expect oil prices to go up 30% to 40%, beyond that we can start to argue that is prices are “excessive”. Right now WTI is up 44% from February 27, 2026 prices. The delta could potentially be classified as “price gauging” or “profiteering”. Short of the world decreasing demand by 15% to 20%, we expect a non-linear increase in prices reflecting the decline in supply.

They will not let WTI close above 100.

fan_of_hakiksexydays

Vagina Neck posting a panic tweet "they told me they're collapsing, they're desperate for a deal" to try to pump markets after he saw WTI back above $100 and USO above $130. Like Iran would ever admit they're collapsing. There's as much chance of Iran admitting that as there is for him to admit he had no plans going into this.

itslikewoow

Markets didn’t believe the 🌮. WTI is still at $99.

Tirikemen

Not worse than (the global) we are already. Long-term it could weaken OPEC, making it more difficult for them to reach consensus. That could lead to new price wars (ala Saudi-Russia price war at start of pandemic). More countries could leave as well, although I think that is more unlikely at this point. Near-term, UAE's oil is still locked up behind the strait. But we are globally fucked already. Even after this ends, it will take months to years (in the case of Qatar's LNG) to repair the damage to Gulf energy infrastructure and get production back to normal. It will take years to replenish depleted global stockpiles. That will keep prices high. Not as high as the strait being closed, but higher than they were before the war, for sure. Price forecasts for Brent next year are already $100+ depending on who you ask. WTI (in normal times) has a discount of roughly $5 to Brent, so that would put it in the mid-$90s next year.

I think brent and WTI are way less. The figures you see of 150 are probably for ME oil that goes from the pipelines

GrossFleshSack

Long oil, easy. Iran proposal rejected. Uppies. Top looking a bit under $103 for WTI.

minus_minus

As I understand it a lot of countries are now effectively cut off as the last ships to freely transit the straight have reached their destination. Shouldn’t they be shortly buying up Brent, WTI and other sources as a substitute? (Good luck to them finding an available tanker tho). 

TheoryInttro

Brent and WTI oil mooning, gold and silver diving. It's probably the inverse relationship between oil and everything that depends on oil as an input.

Given situation in Asia, WTI is still trading at lower levels but ain’t nobody can win against the US treasury

😂 oh god WTI going above $200 if that happens All refineries will die in the gulf. Red Sea tankers will get hit. We’ll probably see tankers in random places hit.. like splinter cells around central and South America/alaska/SE Asia… Like.. go to the grocery store and buy canned food if we go after kharg. Better get, Mexico.. cause it’ll get heated reallllly quick if we tried that. Doesn’t take much apparently

Wait a bit for pull back bc market manipulation. We’ll see oil close to 90 again, maybe even closer to 85. Then its time to buy. (Talking about WTI)

EnvironmentalPear695

WTI isn't moving. At this point Axios is just a manipulation source to tamper the dumb algos running the system nowadays.

Are we talking about WTI at 96 or are you looking at something else?

fan_of_hakiksexydays

WTI oil on crypto markets didn't tank this time during the weekend.

ModeForJoe

We export light crude but import heavy crude, so there's a narrow arbitrage benefit for WTI producers but consumers still get hit with the higher prices. I have even read from commodity analysts that it's possible (although very unlikely with Canadian heavy crude supplies) that at the most extreme there would not be enough heavy to blend with light and keep our refineries continuously operating and result in genuine physical shortages in the US. We'd be months away from that, but it's (very narrowly) possible. Aside from that. high prices, esp with industrial inputs like fertilizer, is really playing with political fire for sure.

SufficientWing2697

would be careful with “long-term trend is positive” unless the entry framework is clear. Crude can be structurally bullish and still punish late entries. The main thing I’d want to know is whether price is holding above a defined invalidation level, not just whether the headline narrative is bullish. My checklist would be: \- is the front curve still confirming tightness? \- is WTI leading Brent or just distorted by roll timing? \- where is the nearest invalidation level? \- is the move already extended relative to recent structure? Bullish thesis and chaseable setup are two different things.

GrossFleshSack

Why not? WTI at 95 and Brent at 100. A lot of ships going to US to buy oil. Hormuz blockade is stubborn. WTI has been trading around $2 below Brent recently.

Retaining-Wall

Just follow the benchmarks. Brent, WTI, and Dubai.

jrex035

You're right, I expected the market to care more about us eating into onshore stockpiles and about physical shortages in much of the world. But next month we get shortages of key goods in Europe, not just in the developing world. Brent and WTI found new floors too and are increasingly resistant to the jawboning of the administration

Current_Animator7546

I think it will become a bigger issue if Europe or Japan starts to have to really ration oil and we see Brent $120 plus and WTI $110 plus.  Thats what a lot of the experts are saying. We probably have another week or two where the market can attempt to ignore it. After that it could become interesting. Late April / May was Always the time line where it gets problematic. To be fair. The tariffs never did hit as hard, but they were on and off.

legbreaker

Message from July 2026: Diplomatic efforts are exceeding expectations and Kushner and the Iranians are now back on talking terms. Lasting peace is just around the corner. Accordingly paper WTI is solidly at $98. Meanwhile airliners have had to shut down half of their summer schedule because of lack of physical jet fuel, Europe has mandated work from home and Asian factories now are only open 2 days a week. Regular unleaded gas hit $7 at the pump in Texas. Fortunately SPR drawdown and overnight liquidity facilities are working overtime at peak efficiency. SPY closed at new all time highs.

Delicious_Put_5857

>The spike in crude oil (WTI) from approximately $50 in early 2007 to a peak of nearly $147 in July 2008 forced lower-income households to make a "heat or eat" choice. >As gasoline and heating oil prices surged, the narrow margin subprime borrowers had for mortgage payments evaporated. >The oil surge drove up Headline CPI, even as the economy was beginning to soften. The Federal Reserve was hesitant to cut interest rates aggressively in early 2008 because they were concerned about energy inflation. hm, interesting

Why is Brent increasing but not WTI?

TLPineapple

its the same thing that happened with the tariffs. Eventually the market recognizes that his statements have little real effect on the market outside of traders making moves. They didnt react to the announcement of the ceasefire extension because this is what, the 8th time hes made an announcement that just didnt matter. (Id point out there was a 4 dollar spike then drop in WTI crude shortly before announcing it). Also, its important to know that these prices are the futures, not what people are actually paying when placing crude orders. Futures for Brent are current about 35 dollars lower than what is actually being paid for, and futures for WTI are about 20 lower. The paper price is currently betting that the strait will open soon, but eventually something will give and those prices will skyrocket.

GreatGojira

It’s interesting to me that usually when he makes a statement the price does down for a short period of time. When he announced the indefinite ceasefire that didn't really happen this time. Which is weird. WTI is back at $106 and gas prices will have to react soon The interesting thing is everything seems to be going up faster this time even with this ceasefire and it didn't help him at all. In fact, the rate the price has increased is faster than any other time I think.

undisclosedusername2

Brent is what most of the world uses. WTI (which isn't far behind on $97), is mostly just relevant to the US.

Soffatjockis

Brent hitting 110 easy tomorrow, and WTI going to 100. Then escalation this weekend and Monday is going to be a bloodbath with oil going to 120+. Position yourself accordingly.
