WTI is a light, sweet crude oil (low density, low sulfur) extracted primarily from US oil fields, with its delivery point at Cushing, Oklahoma, a critical storage hub and pipeline junction known as the &ldquo;Pipeline Crossroads of the World.&rdquo; WTI crude oil futures, traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), are among the most actively traded commodity contracts globally, with daily volumes frequently exceeding one million contracts. Oil prices influence virtually every aspect of the global economy, from transportation and manufacturing costs to inflation, monetary policy, and geopolitical strategy, making WTI one of the most closely watched financial instruments in the world.</p>
