Brent news for September 26, 2026
Brent crude has had a volatile week, ending lower with prices down about 2% as the U.S. and Iran explored a possible path out of war, raising hopes for a deal to temper conflict-driven gains. Supply concerns remain central for the market after Houthi attacks rattled Saudi oil supply, while ongoing geopolitical tensions around Iran have prompted Bank of America to lift its second-half Brent forecast.
