About Crude Oil Brent - Cash

Brent crude oil is one of our most-traded commodities, along with West Texas crude oil. Considered a major benchmark, it’s used to set oil prices for two thirds of the world’s global crude oil supplies. Brent crude is known as a light and sweet oil due to its low density and sulphur content. The Brent crude oil market first originated at its field in the North Sea; however, production is decreasing in this region as oil blends from other international fields are being combined. You can trade the commodity at its live spot price or through forward contracts, where its value is based on the stability of the underlying asset. Our Brent crude oil price charts are available to view in both short-term and longer-term timeframes, depending on your trading strategy. Start spread betting or trading CFDs on Brent crude oil’s price below.
