The interview context below is evergreen — the number will be back shortly.
The 30-second take
Brent prices the seaborne oil market, covering roughly 70% of global crude trade. The Brent-WTI spread tells you something about US logistics (pipeline bottlenecks, Permian export capacity). A narrow spread (£2) means efficient US exports; a wide spread (£5+) signals stress. For UK/European interviews, always quote Brent, not WTI. Energy names like Shell and BP price their reserves off Brent.
