Edward Meir's week in review and thoughts for the week of April 27, 2026

Markets were all over the map last week. But once again, it was energy that commanded the most attention.

Nearby WTI and Brent futures tacked on $11 per barrel (bbl) and $15/bbl for the week, respectively, hitting two-week highs. Gasoline and diesel futures soared as well, adding roughly $0.50/gallon each. Natural gas prices bucked the trend, however, finishing $0.15/MMBtu lower on the week, although Dutch TTF gas prices ended higher.
