November WTI crude oil (CLX25) on Wednesday closed up +1.58 (+2.49%), and November RBOB gasoline (RBX25) closed up +0.0224 (+1.15%).
Crude oil and gasoline prices rallied sharply on Wednesday for the second day, with crude posting a 3-week high. Concerns about Russian crude supplies boosted oil prices after President Trump on Tuesday ramped up his rhetoric against Russia and after NATO promised a "robust" response to Russian incursions into its airspace. Crude prices extended their gains on Wednesday after weekly EIA crude inventories unexpectedly fell to an 8-month low.
