Brent news for September 23, 2026
Brent has seen sharp swings as Strait of Hormuz developments competed with other supply signals. Prices jumped nearly 4% when the Hormuz stalemate outweighed a surprise U.S. crude build, then tumbled about 3% on talk of a reopening within a week and settled lower as Saudi flows recovered and U.S.-Iran talks continued. The market is also watching diesel export talk, U.S. data and Saudi exports, a pipeline restart that extended the price slide, and a move below $98 for the first time since September 8.
