Economic Data Evidence

Brent settled at $106.60 on September 24 2026, up 3.4% on the day after touching a session high of $108.23 on the Houthi barrage, and WTI settled at $94.61, up 2.7%. Prices pulled back from the highs on a report that US and Iranian negotiators were exploring a phased reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. The settle is 2% below the $108.75 of September 15 and roughly $9 above the September 22 low, so the window's round trip ended close to where it began.
