The story so far as of 7 October 2026
On September 21, 2026, Brent crude oil prices fell below $100 per barrel due to rising diplomatic expectations ahead of the United Nations General Assembly. This decline was attributed to potential easing tensions between the United States and Iran. However, on October 7, 2026, oil prices surged past $100 per barrel due to geopolitical tensions in West Asia and adverse weather affecting U.S. energy production, leading to anticipated increases in gasoline and diesel prices in Turkey.
