Brent vs WTI: the spread right now
Brent normally trades at a premium to WTI: it prices seaborne crude for the world market, while WTI is priced at the landlocked Cushing hub, so the spread widens when US supply is plentiful or export capacity is tight, and narrows when the two markets are in balance.

About Brent Oil
Brent crude — also called Brent oil, or in full, Brent crude oil — is the world's primary seaborne oil benchmark, originally based on output from North Sea fields and traded as futures on ICE (Intercontinental Exchange). Quoted in US dollars per barrel, it prices a large share of the world's internationally traded, waterborne crude, which makes it the better gauge of global — rather than US-specific — oil-market conditions, in contrast with the landlocked WTI benchmark.
OPEC+ — the OPEC members plus allied producers such as Russia — sets output policy that shapes seaborne supply directly, so its scheduled meetings and any signal of a shift in production targets are among Brent's sharpest catalysts. Because the benchmark is waterborne, Brent is also unusually sensitive to geopolitical risk along shipping routes and chokepoints, while WTI leans more on US shale output and Cushing, Oklahoma inventory levels. The weekly US EIA and API inventory reports still move Brent as a read on the global balance, though they weigh more directly on WTI; the Brent–WTI spread itself widens and narrows with those regional pressures and is watched by energy traders as a signal in its own right. Demand expectations from large importers, refinery margins and the US dollar round out the drivers.
On the session, Brent Oil is trading at 110.16, a move of -1.54 (-1.38%) versus the previous close of 111.70. The instrument has ranged between 109.25 and 112.20 so far today. FXMARE's technical engine currently reads the setup as Strong Buy.

Brent Oil — frequently asked questions
What is Brent crude oil?
Brent crude is the world's main seaborne oil benchmark: a light, sweet crude originally drawn from North Sea fields and traded as futures on ICE, quoted in US dollars per barrel. Because it prices a large share of internationally shipped crude, it is the better gauge of global oil conditions, while the landlocked WTI benchmark tracks the US market.
What is the Brent oil (Brent crude oil) price today?
The quote and chart on this page track the live Brent oil price - also called Brent crude oil, or simply Brent crude - in US dollars per barrel. It's the international benchmark against which a large share of the world's crude is priced, and the figure updates continuously through the trading day.
What is the difference between Brent and WTI?
Brent is the waterborne international benchmark, priced off North Sea crude and reflecting global seaborne supply and demand; WTI is the US benchmark, delivered inland at Cushing, Oklahoma, and priced mainly off US supply and demand. Brent usually trades at a premium to WTI, reflecting the extra cost of moving landlocked US barrels to a coast for export versus shipping seaborne crude directly to global refiners, and that spread widens or narrows with US export flows, pipeline capacity and inventory conditions on both sides.
What are the biggest drivers of the Brent oil price?
OPEC+ - the OPEC members plus allied producers such as Russia - sets output policy that shapes seaborne supply directly, so its scheduled meetings and any hint of a change in production targets are among Brent's sharpest catalysts. Geopolitical supply risk along shipping routes and chokepoints carries particular weight given Brent's waterborne nature. The weekly EIA and API US inventory reports and monthly forecasts from OPEC, the IEA and the EIA still move Brent as a read on the global balance, even though they weigh more heavily on WTI; global demand expectations, refinery margins and the US dollar round out the picture.
What does the Brent Oil 52-week range show?
The 52-week range is the lowest low and the highest high Brent Oil printed across the past 52 weeks of daily bars, so it shows where the current price sits relative to that year's extremes. Computed from FXMARE's daily price history, the current 52-week range is 58.72 – 126.10.
