Brent Crude OTC Price Breaks $100 Mark, Up Over 2% Intraday

Brent crude oil's over-the-counter trading price broke through the $100 threshold, rising more than 2% intraday. As one of the core benchmarks for international oil prices, this surge in Brent is often closely tied to multiple factors such as geopolitical volatility, contraction in crude supply, and shifts in global market demand expectations. The rise in oil prices may also subsequently impact costs across global shipping, chemical, and other industrial chains, as well as inflation levels in various countries to varying degrees.
