September WTI crude oil (CLU25) today is up +1.07 (+1.71%), and September RBOB gasoline (RBU25) is up +0.0377 (+1.82%).
Crude oil prices today are sharply higher on some short-covering ahead of Friday's Trump-Putin summit. President Trump has said he will proceed with high tariffs on countries that buy Russian oil if President Putin does not agree to a ceasefire, which would further reduce Russian oil exports and tighten the global oil market. Mr. Trump has sounded progressively more hawkish about Friday's summit as this week wears on.
