Historical snapshot — published September 17, 2026. CapKet’s original Yahoo Finance Brent futures-series observation was $105.66 per barrel, against a provider comparison of $108.75. The figures are retained as an attributed archive record. This review did not independently confirm them against exchange historical data.
Two comparisons, not one daily return
| Comparison | Dollar difference per barrel | Calculated change |
|---|---|---|
| $105.66 versus the provider reference of $108.75 | −$3.09 | −2.84% |
| $105.66 versus CapKet’s preceding $108.78 snapshot | −$3.12 | −2.87% |
The first calculation reproduces the percentage attached to the original report. The second compares two observations collected at different times. Neither establishes a settlement-to-settlement return without matching the underlying delivery month and exchange records. The difference between the two percentage figures is a difference in comparison basis, not evidence of an additional market move.
Trading date and publication date
The quote timestamp recorded in the article was 19:25 UTC on September 16, or 00:55 IST on September 17. Collection occurred at 01:06 IST. This is why a September 17 Indian publication can describe a September 16 UTC observation. It must not be described as the official September 17 close.
Verified contract context, limited quote evidence
CME’s official overview identifies the BZ Brent product and a contract size of 1,000 barrels. Its settlement guidance distinguishes the settlement reference used to value positions. Those sources support the explanation, not certification of this archived price.
The original article used the provider symbol BZ=F without independently establishing the delivery month. For that reason, this report does not infer trading profit, attribute the move to a particular event, or describe the quote as an executable bid or offer. A current Yahoo quote page is supplied for provider identification, not as a permanent historical record.

Source clarification — September 28, 2026: This revision removes repetitive wording, makes the two comparison bases explicit and separates primary-source contract information from unconfirmed historical provider values. No fresh market price or unsupported explanation has been substituted.
