Brent crude settled at $108.75 a barrel on September 15 2026, its highest close in nearly four months, extending Monday's gain as the Saudi East-West pipeline remained offline and Hormuz transits stayed in single digits. That is 7.4% above the $101.21 settle of September 9 and roughly 50% above the $72 pre-war level of late February. Level via WebSearch aggregation; the daily narrative is Bloomberg-sourced.
