🇺🇸US Oil Prices Test Highs After Surging Past $115 Following the holiday weekend, global oil markets have reopened with a significant price surge. US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures have climbed above $115 per barrel, marking a notable increase as trading resumed. The international benchmark, Brent crude, also saw a substantial rise to over $111 per barrel. This sharp upward movement reflects immediate market pressures and investor sentiment as the new week begins. US crude oil prices have now doubled since the start of 2026, rising from $57 to the current level of $115. The price is now testing key resistance around $114.3, with renewed buying interest confirmed after a pullback. A sustained break above this level could open the way for a further push toward the $116-$118 range. Minas Tirith | 24/7 News channel | Updated
