What is the price of oil today?
WTI crude oil was $99.64 a barrel on Nov 3, 2026, down $0.42 (0.4%) from $100.06 the previous business day. A year earlier (Nov 3, 2025), the reading was $61.79.
What is the difference between WTI and Brent crude?
Both are benchmark grades of light, sweet crude oil. WTI is priced at Cushing, Oklahoma, and reflects the US market; Brent comes from the North Sea and is the main benchmark for internationally traded oil. The two usually move closely together.
Why is this price different from the oil price on TV?
Financial news usually quotes the front-month NYMEX WTI futures contract in real time. This series is the EIA's daily spot price, published after a short delay, so the two can differ.
How do oil prices affect the stock market?
Higher oil lifts energy stocks but raises costs for most other industries and for consumers, and it can push inflation and interest rates up. Very low prices help consumers but hurt producers, and often reflect a weak global economy.
