Crude oil; the world's most-traded commodity, setting the base cost of fuel, transport, and industry.

Coverage of Oil is rising : 439 signals on the latest tracked day, up 16% from its three-week baseline of 377, across 67 coverage verticals (unchanged from a week ago).

If Oil matters to your work, coverage is climbing off its baseline — worth a closer-than-usual look this week.

What’s changed

7 of the last 7 tracked days ran above the three-week baseline — a sustained move, not a one-day spike.
