WTI Crude Oil Prompt Spread Surges to $5.18, Highest Since May 1 Amid Red Sea Tensions

CL4.10%
According to Yonhap Infomax, WTI crude oil futures prompt spread rose to $5.18 on July 23, marking its highest level since May 1 after climbing approximately $4.5 this week. The prompt spread measures the price difference between nearest-month and next-month crude oil futures contracts; a higher positive spread signals tightening near-term supply. The rally accelerated this week after Yemen-based Houthi forces declared a blockade of the Red Sea and began attacking Saudi Arabian tankers, reviving supply concerns amid U.S.-Iran tensions.
