Rory Johnston: Brent crude falls below $100 per barrel for first time since pipeline attack
Brent crude dips under $100 on diplomacy

Rory Johnston reports that Brent crude has dropped below $100 per barrel for the first time since before the attack on the East-West pipeline.

He suggests that the market is placing its faith in the latest round of diplomatic efforts.

Earlier this year, Johnston noted that U.S. diesel crack spreads versus Brent crude approached $100 per barrel, hitting record territory in daily trading levels (/news/market-voices/show/3167035-diesel-crack-spread-record/). He also reported that diesel prices matched crude levels as crack spreads surged to new highs (/news/market-voices/show/3299053-diesel-crack-spreads-record/). These previous developments highlighted heightened volatility in refined fuel pricing earlier in the year.
