Brent bias flipped 42 times to neutral on September 21, 2026
Brent crude has cooled from recent highs to around $100, snapping a two-week winning streak. The move followed increased oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz and hopes for U.S.-Iran diplomacy, which eased fears over Middle East supply. Supply concerns remain in focus after Saudi Aramco halted crude supply to European customers, while $100 oil is keeping bond markets on edge.
