Brent Crude Futures Reach $89 per Barrel, First Since July 2024

The rise marks Brent crude’s highest level since mid-2024, reflecting ongoing strength in global energy markets.

Fact Check
The claim is corroborated by multiple financial news reports from March 6, 2026 (the last trading day before the claim date of March 8). CNBC and NAMPA both explicitly state that Brent crude topped $89 per barrel, and NAMPA specifically notes this is the first time since July 2024. Trading Economics also records a price of $92.69 on the same date, confirming the breach of the $89 threshold. The rise is consistently attributed to a conflict in the Middle East involving the U.S. and Iran.
