Will WTI Crude Oil (WTI) hit (HIGH) $130 Week of September 14 2026?

The question asks whether WTI Crude Oil will hit $130 during the week of September 14, 2026. The news articles provided are from 2024 and discuss current oil price surges and analyst predictions, but they do not provide specific, verifiable data about price levels in September 2026. Article AFR article mentions RBC Capital Markets' prediction that crude could hit $US130 a barrel 'next year' (likely 2025), but this is a forecast, not a confirmed event, and the timeframe is before the resolution week. Articles Ground article, BBC article, abc.net.au article, and NYT article describe current price increases due to Middle East tensions and market volatility, but none report actual prices reaching $130 or provide any data for September 2026. Without concrete evidence of prices reaching $130 in the specified week, and given that the prediction in AFR article is for an earlier period, the probability is low. However, the articles do indicate ongoing geopolitical risks and supply concerns that could sustain high oil prices, so a complete dismissal is unwarranted. The lack of direct, relevant data for the resolution period leads to a cautious estimate below 0.5, but not near zero because the market environment remains volatile and could potentially drive prices higher by 2026.
