WTI Crude Falls 4% to $99.95; Brent Drops Below $109

A four percent single-session drop in WTI, alongside Brent slipping under $109, points to a broad repricing across crude benchmarks rather than an isolated move in one contract. The scale of the decline matters because energy costs feed directly into inflation and transport economics, so a move this sharp tends to register beyond the oil complex itself. The material offers no driver behind the selloff, which is the notable gap: whether this is a one-day unwind or the start of a sustained shift in the crude curve is the open question worth tracking.
