Why is WTI oil up today?
WTI oil is up 0.6% today, at $91.03.
Nothing in today’s news bears on it directly.
Which way it leans, and how far it could go
No clear trend: below its 50-day average but up 3.1% in a month.
A typical day: ±3.6% (±$3.24)
We keep score: every day each lean is checked a day later, and how often they were right will show here once 20 have been checked.
| Over the | Likely range | Wider range |
|---|---|---|
| Next hour | $90.36 – $91.71 ±0.7% | $89.72 – $92.36 |
| Next day | $87.85 – $94.32 ±3.6% | $84.91 – $97.60 |
| Next week | $84.08 – $98.56 ±7.9% | $77.90 – $106.37 |
| Next month | $77.35 – $107.13 ±16.3% | $66.16 – $125.25 |
Where it should end the period two times in three (likely) and nineteen times in twenty (wider), if the coming days swing as much as the recent ones: a volatility forecast from its past year, weighted to the last weeks. Our lean puts together how today’s news bears on it and its trend; it can be wrong, and markets can move more. Not investment advice.
