What is WTI Crude Oil?

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) is the U.S. benchmark for light sweet crude oil, quoted in dollars per barrel. Energy costs feed into inflation, freight, airline margins, and risk appetite — a spike or crash often shows up in the oil tape before it shows up in CPI.

Why does Oil matter for markets?

Oil shocks can tighten financial conditions even when the Fed is on hold. Geopolitics, OPEC+ supply, and U.S. shale inventories all move this number.
