International benchmark Brent crude futures for November expiry rose about 3.3% to $108.02 per barrel on Monday morning, September 14, 2026, as markets reacted to Saudi Arabia’s temporary closure of its East-West oil pipeline (Petroline) after drone attacks.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures traded nearly 3% higher at about $102.98. The roughly 750-mile East-West line is a key alternative to the Strait of Hormuz, with a design capacity near 7 million barrels per day.
