WTI October Crude Settles Down 1.24% at $94.59 a Barrel
The divergence is the story: WTI slipping while Abu Dhabi Murban jumps 3.8% points to a market pricing regional supply risk into Gulf grades rather than a broad crude move. That split matters most for refiners and physical buyers with Gulf exposure, since product cracks — gasoline and heating oil — settled without the same stress. Whether Murban's premium persists or WTI catches down to it is the open question.
