What "Crude Oil Price" Is Yahoo!Finance Tracking Today? Snow In Cairo, First Time In A Century; Snow Closes Roads In Israel

I wonder what "crude oil price" Yahoo!Finance is tracking today. The site shows crude oil at $91, well below what others are reporting, $97. My site is showing $96.80, down 70 cents. See sidebar at the right. Natural gas is at $4.38.

The Los Angeles Times is reporting:
Snow coated domes and minarets Friday as a record Mideast storm compounded the suffering of Syrian refugees, sent the Israeli army scrambling to dig out stranded motorists and gave Egyptians a rare glimpse of snow in their capital.
Nearly three feet of snow closed roads in and out of Jerusalem, which is set in high hills, and thousands in and around the city were left without power. Israeli soldiers and police rescued  hundreds trapped in their cars by snow and ice. In the West Bank, the branches of olive trees groaned under the weight of snow.
In Cairo, where local news reports said the last recorded snowfall was more than 100 years ago, children in outlying districts capered in white-covered streets, and adults marveled at the sight, tweeting pictures of snow-dusted parks and squares. In other parts of the city, rain and hail rocketed down.
Rumor has it Algore is booking a flight to the Mideast now; doesn't believe it; wants to see it with his own eyes.

  1. It's Jan. 2015 WTI futures. Why? Who knows. Probably an error that went unrecognized all day. No one really uses Yahoo Finance much anymore. You'd be better off just going to CME Group for commodity info.

    1. Thank you. You are correct: CME Group looks a lot more useful. I've linked it near the top on the sidebar at the right, "Futures." It may move around a bit on the sidebar but that's where it is today. Thank you very much. CME is much more useful.
