About WTI Crude Oil Price

What it measures

The WTI Crude Oil Spot Price (FRED series DCOILWTICO) records the daily spot market price in dollars per barrel for West Texas Intermediate, the light sweet crude grade delivered at Cushing, Oklahoma that serves as the primary US oil benchmark. The underlying quotes come from the US Energy Information Administration, and the series updates each trading day, making it one of the highest-frequency indicators on this site.

Why it matters

Crude oil is arguably the single most consequential commodity price for the global economy, feeding into gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, petrochemicals, and freight costs. Its level shapes headline inflation, energy-sector earnings, capital spending in the shale patch, and the trade balances of producing and consuming nations. Macro investors read oil moves as a joint signal of global demand strength and geopolitical supply risk.

How to read it

Distinguish demand-driven moves, which accompany rising equities and yields, from supply-driven spikes, which act as a tax on growth. WTI can diverge from the international Brent benchmark on North American pipeline and storage dynamics; the spread itself is informative. Prices are extremely volatile and headline-sensitive, so percentage changes over weeks matter more than any single daily print for macro analysis.
