Crude Oil WTI Futures Market News and Commentary

Risk-On Sentiment in Asset Markets and Middle East Tensions Boost Crude Prices

Oct WTI crude oil (CLV24) Thursday closed up +1.04 (+1.47%), and Oct RBOB gasoline (RBV24) closed up +4.93 (+2.45%).

Crude oil and gasoline prices rallied to 2-week highs on Thursday and settled moderately higher.  Crude rose Thursday after the Fed's aggressive 50 bp interest rate cut on Wednesday sparked risk-on sentiment in asset markets.  Crude oil prices are also moving higher in the hope that the Fed's aggressive rate cut will spur economic growth that boosts energy demand.  In addition, Thursday's rally in the S&P 500 to a new record high shows optimism in the economic outlook that is bullish for energy demand.
