About Brent Crude
Brent crude is the global benchmark for oil prices, used to price roughly two-thirds of the world's internationally traded crude. It is priced in U.S. dollars per barrel and is sourced from fields in the North Sea.
Brent futures trade on ICE nearly around the clock on weekdays but pause each evening and over the weekend. WeekendIndex shows a live Brent price 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. These are implied 24/7 market prices, not official settlements.
