The Officials: Zakum on tap

18 September 2025: 09:30 BST

Yesterday, $68 looked like a floor until the evening, but in late trading it began to look like a new ceiling. Although Brent surged through the window, it couldn’t quite breach the $68 level again, reaching the close at $67.86/bbl. Despite the flat price decline, the prompt spread has been zooming upwards! It’s even broken the 50c barrier for the first time since 3 September! You know what that means – there is demand for crude right now. The stars are aligning for the eventual pop!
