Summary
Early Monday Brent was around $102 and WTI near $90.50. In Tokyo morning trade Brent was $102.31, up 6 cents (0.07%), with the Brent-WTI spread above $11 a barrel. The G7 agreed on Friday to release 100 million barrels from reserves.
Why it moves markets
Rising Middle East exports and the G7 release outweighed Houthi claims of new attacks on Saudi Aramco sites. Expensive oil pushes up inflation and yields, which raises costs for companies and consumers.
Deeper view and what to watch
investinglive called Aramco's surprise price cut for Asia a bearish signal for physical markets. Watch whether Brent holds above $100 and whether Middle East attacks actually hit supply. Early quotes differ slightly by timestamp.
