Brent bias flipped 34 times to neutral on October 13, 2026
Brent traded near and above $106 per barrel, its first move above that level since September 29, as Middle East supply risks intensified. Prices jumped about 2% on reported attacks related to Saudi Arabia, including booms reported near Aramco HQ in Dhahran, alongside OPEC seeing a demand rebound, with those supply risks overshadowing a Russian diesel deal. Prices later retreated in part as Trump eased Iran supply concerns, leaving Middle East conflict as the central focus for oil.
