Brent crude oil price history
What moves the price of Brent crude
Brent is the international benchmark for oil, and most of the world's crude is priced off it. Its price is set by the balance of supply and demand: OPEC+ production decisions, US shale output, global growth and inventories all matter.
Geopolitical events in producing regions can move the price quickly. Because oil is priced in dollars, the dollar's strength also plays a role. Futures prices show the next contract, not the physical spot price at a particular port.
