WTI October Crude Settles Down 2.37% at $100.05 a Barrel, Up Nearly 9.37% on the Week

The day's pullback matters less than the weekly move: crude still finished sharply higher, and the wider Murban benchmark gained even more, suggesting the bid was concentrated in physical-linked grades rather than a uniform futures rally. That divergence between WTI and Murban is the detail worth tracking, since it hints at where supply concern is actually priced. Whether the weekly gain holds or unwinds after such a steep run is the open question.
