Brent: Crude eases from spike on Iran comments – Danske Bank
Danske Research Team notes Brent crude briefly surged above USD 105 per barrel to its highest level in nearly a month, driven by reduced Strait of Hormuz traffic and hurricane-related supply concerns. The move reversed after President Trump said the US would not attack Iran before midterm elections and as reports suggested China will resume refined fuel exports, leaving Brent near USD 102-103.
