WTI
West Texas Intermediate — The main U.S. benchmark price for a barrel of crude oil.
Coverage of WTI is rising : 16 signals on the latest tracked day, up 220% from its three-week baseline of 5, across 6 domains (up from 3 a week ago). That makes it the #207 most-covered of the 336 concerns we track.
If WTI matters to your work, coverage is climbing off its baseline — worth a closer-than-usual look this week.
