  • Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Curb Losses as Brent-WTI Oil Price Spread Hits Decade High
    March 19, 2026, 5:49 PM EDT. Oil prices fell on Thursday, helping the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq reduce earlier losses. The gap between Brent crude, the global seaborne oil benchmark, and West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the US inland benchmark, widened to about $14 per barrel, the widest since 2013 aside from the pandemic lows. Brent rose to $111.37, reflecting risks from Middle East conflicts and global demand surges, while WTI traded at $97.78, buffered by abundant US supply and infrastructure. This pricing divergence illustrates how Brent incorporates more geopolitical risk, unlike WTI's regional supply factors, causing market jitters and influencing energy sector stocks.
