Crude oil prices currently trade near $91 per barrel for WTI as of early September 2026, well below the 2008 all-time high of approximately $147, after spiking toward $120 for Brent amid the 2026 Iran conflict and Strait of Hormuz disruptions before retreating on supply recovery and a U.S.-Iran interim deal. Persistent Middle East tensions, including recent U.S.-Iran exchanges, have supported a sharp weekly rebound exceeding 9%, though improved Gulf output and expectations of near-term surpluses cap upside momentum. Key near-term catalysts include OPEC+ production decisions, further diplomatic developments on Hormuz shipping, and global demand data, with trader sentiment reflecting geopolitical risk premiums rather than structural shifts toward record levels.
