Morning Energy Market Briefing Sunday, November 8, 2026 1. Headlines Oil prices are showing minimal movement in early trading today. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude is at $90.83 per barrel, up a marginal 0.34%, while Brent crude is essentially flat at $98.32. The Bakken crude differential to WTI is reported at -$3.42.

According to OilPrice.com, the development of federally funded Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs (H2Hubs) has stalled amid funding cuts and weak demand. This includes the Appalachian Hydrogen Hub (ARCH2), which covers parts of Ohio and Pennsylvania and was expected to receive $925 million to manufacture blue hydrogen from fossil fuels with carbon capture. “Until I see significant evidence to the contrary, I just don’t think the hubs are happening,” stated Tom Torres, chief of staff at the Ohio River Valley Institute,...
