What is Brent Oil?

Brent crude oil is the leading international benchmark used to price roughly two-thirds of the world's traded crude, sourced from North Sea fields and settled financially rather than by physical delivery. Its price is shaped by layered forces: broad drivers such as global demand growth, OPEC+ production policy, and US Dollar strength set the trend, while inventory data and sentiment toward WTI Oil add further pressure on a day-to-day basis. On a narrower level, shipping disruptions and supply outages in producing regions can move prices sharply. Traders follow Brent for three reasons: its status as the world's most widely used oil benchmark, its strong global liquidity, and its sensitivity to international geopolitical events. In July 2008, Brent surged to a record high near $147 a barrel amid strong global demand and a weak dollar, only to collapse below $40 within months as the global financial crisis crushed demand, a swing that remains a textbook example of how quickly sentiment can reverse in oil markets.
