According to BeInCrypto, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude reached $106.2 per barrel on Friday, marking its highest intraday level since mid‑September. The rise occurred after Iran announced that mines had struck four tankers, a day following U.S. forces stating that the Hormuz lanes were clear. Later that day WTI fell to $104.1, while Brent prices moved near $111.9, up 9.4 % from a month earlier. For energy traders, these movements reflect heightened market attention to the recent maritime incident and the U.S. reassurance.
