π Weekly Market Brief | 28 Sep - 04 Oct 2026

Here's the picture π
π GEOPOLITICS
β’ G7 announced a coordinated 100M-barrel release through the IEA over four months.
β’ Diesel deliveries are to be frontloaded within the first 20 days.

β‘οΈ Watch actual deliveries and shipping flows. Announcements alone do not restore supply.
π’οΈ OIL: WTI futures 91.46
The reported CL weekly range was 88.06β96.54. Energy remains sensitive to supply headlines and delivery timing.
π₯ GOLD: futures 4,169.70
