Line chart of WTI crude oil futures sliding for six straight sessions after a September 10, 2026 peak.

WTI crude closed lower for a sixth straight session on September 22, 2026, after peaking on September 10, as diplomatic signals from the UN General Assembly raised hopes of de-escalation around the Strait of Hormuz. The slide weakens the fuel-cost inflation argument the Bank of Canada cited on September 2 when it warned further rate hikes might be needed. The Canadian dollar also weakened over the same stretch, still tracking the direction of oil.
