WTI December crude settles at $102/bbl; NYMEX gas, gasoline, heating oil also close

This is a bare settlement snapshot with no stated driver, so the signal is in the levels rather than the story: crude at $102 keeps energy costs elevated across the complex, and the gasoline and heating oil prints show that strength carrying into refined products rather than staying confined to the barrel. For RWA and tokenized-commodity venues, that sustained elevation is the more relevant fact than any single close, since it shapes how energy-linked instruments get priced and hedged. Whether these levels hold into the next contract roll is the open question.
