The forecast claimed that the price of WTI crude oil would be lower by at least 10 percent on March 10, 2026, compared to March 9, 2026. While one source (abs-cbnnews.com, March 10, 2026) indicated that 'the US crude oil benchmark, WTI, fell more than six percent,' this figure does not meet the 'at least 10 percent' threshold specified in the claim. A fall of, for example, 7%, 8%, or 9% would satisfy 'more than six percent' but not 'at least 10 percent'. Furthermore, multiple other sources from the forecast period (March 9-10, 2026) reported a general trend of surging and skyrocketing oil prices due to geopolitical events (e.g., 'Oil prices surged to nearly $120 per barrel' from facebook.com/washingtonpost, 'Prices are surging as the largest oil price increase ever recorded' from themirror.com, 'Crude oil prices have skyrocketed' from info.oregon.aaa.com). Given the widespread reports of surging prices, a drop of 'at least 10 percent' for WTI crude oil is highly improbable and not supported by the specific evidence provided.
