Trade Brent Crude Oil Spot

Brent crude oil is a valuable commodity. Being a light sweet oil, it is considered more desirable than heavy sour crude as it is ideal for the refining of gasoline, diesel fuel and other high-demand products. As its supply is water-borne, Brent crude oil is easy to transport to distant locations. For these reasons, it can have a premium price.

Brent crude is a benchmark that defines oil prices around the world. About two-thirds of all internationally traded crude oil supplies are priced relative to Brent, making it the most widely used marker of all.

Brent crude is a light, low-sulphur oil that is extracted from 15 different oil fields in the North Sea and consists of Brent Blend, Forties Blend, Ekofisk and Oseberg crudes. It has become an industry standard due to its unique properties: its low density and low sulphur content makes Brent crude oil simpler to process into products such as gasoline. As such, it tends to fetch higher prices on commodity markets.

For years, Benchmark crude oil has served as an investment tool used by international investors seeking true asset class diversification in their portfolio. The commodity is often seen as a hedge against deflation, inflation and devaluation.

The Brent crude oil rate significantly relies on the wider performance of the global economy. In addition, like with any other traded commodity, its value depends on the basic laws of supply and demand.
