WTI crude oil is the principal US light-sweet crude futures benchmark, with delivery mechanics centred on Cushing, Oklahoma. The economic meaning of WTI crude oil comes from the exposure it represents, not from the number of digits in the quoted level or the direction of one observation. The futures level can still differ from a consumer, wholesale cash or producer price.
