WTI Crude Oil (WTI) closes above $98 on September 28?

The question asks whether WTI Crude Oil will close above $98 on September 28, 2026. The only available article NYT article reports that oil prices rose above $105 a barrel on a recent Thursday, driven by geopolitical uncertainty and inflation fears. However, this article is dated and does not provide any specific forecast or data for September 28, 2026. It only indicates that prices were elevated at some earlier point, but there is no information about the trajectory toward the target date. Without any articles discussing the specific date, contract month, or market conditions for late September 2026, the evidence is extremely thin. The resolution criteria are detailed and technical, but the news source does not address any of the relevant factors such as the active month contract, trading hours, or Pyth close values for that date. Given the lack of any forward-looking analysis or data for the target date, the probability of a close above $98 is very low. The article's mention of prices above $105 is too vague and temporally disconnected to support a high probability. Therefore, a very low probability is warranted.
