Oil price today: Brent falls to 93.09 USD; WTI stays resilient
Brent fell 2.42% in a day and WTI dropped 2.79%, but WTI is still up 1.84% over seven days, making energy markets look more like cooling from highs than a trend collapse.

Market Overview
Brent traded at 93.09 dollars, down 2.42% over 24 hours; WTI traded at 90.54 dollars, down 2.79% on the day, but still up 1.84% over 7 days. This data set shows that short-term selling pressure is being released, but WTI has not fully given up the risk premium accumulated during the week.
What MC Markets is watching is not the one-day pullback in oil prices, but whether buyers are still willing to support WTI above 90 dollars after Brent moved back from 97.81 dollars to 93.09 dollars. MC Markets are trading around the tug-of-war between profit-taking at highs and resilient fundamentals.
In-Depth Analysis
The less visible clue is that natural gas also fell 3.64%, showing that the energy sector is not facing a single crude-specific bearish factor, but a synchronized cooling in overall risk appetite. If oil and gas weaken at the same time, commodity funds may reduce the weight of the energy basket, making any crude rebound more dependent on physical buying rather than financial flows.
Brent's seven-day path once rose to 97.81, but the latest reading has returned to 93.09, showing insufficient willingness to chase gains near the highs. If WTI holds near 90.54 and Brent approaches 95.03 again, the market will treat this decline as a cooling phase; if Brent loses 93.09, the risk premium may continue to be squeezed out.
Key Highlights
- Brent traded at 93.09 dollars, down 2.42% over 24 hours and down 0.66% over 7 days
- WTI traded at 90.54 dollars, down 2.79% over 24 hours but still up 1.84% over 7 days
- Natural gas traded at 3.229, down 3.64% over 24 hours, with the energy sector cooling in tandem
- Brent's seven-day high was 97.81, with the latest price retreating to 93.09
- WTI holding above 90 dollars means the pullback has not yet developed into a trend breakdown
- Oil and gas falling together suggests financial flows may be reducing energy basket exposure
Short-Term Outlook
If WTI stays above the area near 90.54 and Brent moves back above 95.03, oil prices may enter a range-repair phase. If Brent breaks below 93.09 and natural gas continues to weaken, the energy risk premium will retreat further.
