TREE NEWS reports: WTI October crude futures closed down $1.86, or more than 1.82%, at $100.30 a barrel, still up nearly 0.25% for the week. Middle East Abu Dhabi Murban crude fell 2.06% to $118.89 a barrel, down 0.48% on the week. NYMEX October natural gas settled at $2.9120 per million BTU, gasoline at $3.5276 a gallon and heating oil at $5.0578 a gallon.
WTI October Crude Settles at $100.30, Down 1.82%
The split between WTI's modest weekly gain and Murban's weekly decline points to regional pressure in the Middle East benchmark rather than a uniform move in crude. With WTI holding above $100 even after the daily drop, the market is not treating this as a broad reversal. Whether Murban's underperformance persists relative to WTI is the open question, and it matters for anyone tracking the spread between Atlantic Basin and Gulf pricing.
