WTI Crude Falls 4.5% to $95.78 a Barrel
The scale of the pullback matters more than the direction: a single-session drop of this size, paired with a steeper decline in Murban, points to a broad repricing of crude rather than an isolated contract move. The proximity to the September 8 close suggests much of the recent geopolitical premium has now been unwound. Whether that unwind extends or stabilizes is the open question, and the read-across to refined products is worth watching given how gasoline and heating oil settled.
