What it is
West Texas Intermediate is the American grade of oil and the benchmark for US oil prices; the contract delivers in Cushing, Oklahoma. It is quoted in US dollars per barrel — about 159 litres. The price depends on US output, the weekly oil-inventory report (released on Wednesdays), OPEC+ decisions and global demand. The price shown here is the futures contract for the nearest month — an agreement to deliver later at a price fixed today; when that contract expires, the price rolls to the next month. It trades almost around the clock on weekdays, and is closed at weekends.
