US session trade setup - WTI crude oil set for retracement!
|The WTI crude oil prices rose because of the price war between Saudi Arabia, and Russia seems to finish very soon. The expectation that the world's largest oil producers would agree to cut production at a meeting later in the day also supporting oil prices.
Currently, the WTI crude oil prices are trading at 26.42 and consolidate in the range between the 25.62 - 26.66. The U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude is up 5% to trade at $26.36 a barrel, after earlier climbing by as much as 6.1%.

The OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) and allies, including Russia - a group is known as OPEC+ - are set to assemble through video conference meetings on Thursday.
