Edward Meir's week in review and thoughts for the week of May 25, 2026

There were several important moves in some key markets last week. The nearly $7 per barrel (bbl) week-on-week dip in WTI crude prices was the most consequential. For its part, Brent lost about $5.80/bbl. We also saw welcome weekly declines of roughly $0.23 per gallon and $0.16/gallon in gasoline and distillate futures, respectively. Natural gas prices ended fractionally lower at $2.90 per MMBtu as well.
