West Texas Intermediate crude oil settled at $95.43 on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, after advancing 3.92% during the session. The move marked one of the more notable single-day swings for the benchmark crude contract in recent trading.
Over the past seven days, WTI has climbed 6.69%, reflecting sustained upward momentum across the near-term window. The back-to-back gains have pushed the commodity to levels not seen in the recent short-term range.
Despite the recent strength, WTI remains down 3.46% over the trailing 30-day period, indicating that the current rally is partly recovering ground lost earlier in the prior month. The longer-term picture continues to show some headwinds relative to where prices stood a month ago.
Market capitalization data is not available for WTI crude oil, as the commodity trades as a futures contract rather than a publicly listed security. Price action across the energy complex will likely remain closely watched given the scale of the moves recorded this week.
