About Brent
Brent is the international benchmark for crude oil, priced in dollars per barrel. Supply decisions by OPEC+ producers, shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and global demand forecasts all move it, and oil prices feed through to inflation and to currencies such as the Canadian dollar.
Also known as: oil, crude oil, oil price, ukoil
