Brent bias flipped 30 times to neutral on September 28, 2026
Brent crude was up over 3 percent in intraday trading as Middle East war fears were rekindled with no signs of de-escalation, following reports that Trump rejected an Iran proposal. The focus is on supply-transit risk around the Strait of Hormuz, with Saudi Arabia restarting a critical Hormuz bypass pipeline while Iraq looks for alternative oil export routes.
