November 2026 Brent Last Day Financial futures were quoted at $108.02 per barrel at 08:58:25 UTC (14:28:25 IST) on September 16. Yahoo Finance’s explicit BZX26.NYM contract was $0.73, or 0.67%, below its September 15 daily close of $108.75.
Lower on the day, above the range midpoint
The contract’s reported high was $108.59 and its low $107.18. That $1.41 range placed the snapshot $0.84 above the low and $0.57 below the high. A price below yesterday’s reference can still occupy the upper half of today’s range: the daily change and the intraday position answer different questions.
This is a NYMEX financial-futures observation, not an assessment of a physical North Sea cargo. The explicit symbol identifies November through the X month code in CME’s contract-code table. Using the named maturity avoids silently treating a rolling front-month series as an unchanged instrument.
Comparison requires matching contract months
CME’s Brent product documentation establishes the NYMEX benchmark’s identity alongside other energy contracts. It supports that background, not the current vendor price. Yahoo’s dated daily history supplies the previous-close comparison, which has not been independently certified as an exchange settlement.
The earlier October WTI snapshot was a different maturity and a slightly different timestamp. Subtracting it from this November Brent price would not produce a clean matched-month spread. An executable comparison also needs simultaneous bid and ask prices, contract specifications and transaction costs, none of which is represented by these last-price observations.
Further coverage should keep the November identity fixed and test any proposed supply or shipping explanation against dated primary evidence. The quote alone cannot establish a cause for the decline. AI-assisted source review and arithmetic support this report; it contains no trading recommendation or forecast of the final daily settlement.
