Net change

Difference between the latest traded or settled price and the previous trading session’s settlement level.

Net change is the difference between a security’s or commodity’s current closing price and the previous closing price. It indicates short-term price movement direction.

In oil markets, net change is used in market reports and technical analysis to quickly summarize price trends. Traders track daily net changes to gauge momentum.

Large net changes may signal fundamental shifts, such as supply disruptions or macroeconomic news. Small changes indicate stability.

Understanding net change is essential for monitoring market sentiment and intraday positioning.
