Brent Crude (BRENT)
The global benchmark for crude oil prices.
What is Brent Crude
Brent crude is the leading international benchmark for oil, used to price roughly two-thirds of the world’s traded crude. It is drawn from fields in the North Sea.
Like WTI, its price reflects the tug-of-war between global supply and demand, but Brent is more sensitive to international and seaborne events, so it often trades at a premium to WTI.
Brent is a key reference for fuel prices around the world and a closely watched barometer of the global energy market.
