West Texas Intermediate crude oil settled at $99.27 on September 16, 2026, adding 0.35% over the prior 24 hours. The modest daily gain extended a broader upward trend that has taken hold across recent weeks.
Over the past seven days, WTI has risen 6.79%, reflecting sustained buying pressure in the crude market. The move builds on an even steeper 30-day advance of 21.37%, marking one of the more pronounced medium-term moves for the benchmark contract.
The 30-day gain brings WTI within reach of the $100-per-barrel threshold, a psychologically significant level for global energy markets. The pace of the advance over the past month has been notably broad-based, with momentum carrying through on both shorter and longer timeframes.
Market capitalization data was not available for the commodity. Crude oil prices are subject to a range of supply, demand, and geopolitical factors that can shift conditions rapidly.
