What it measures

The price of a barrel of Brent crude, oil from beneath the North Sea that is the benchmark for most of the world’s internationally traded oil.

It moves with conflict and disruption in oil-producing regions such as the Gulf, with decisions by OPEC and its allies on how much to pump, and with how strongly the world economy is growing.

Shown with OANDA’s price, in US dollars a barrel, which follows the benchmark closely.
