Brent–WTI Spread Widens to $4.91/bbl; Arbitrage on Seven Transshipment Grades Re-Priced
As of 14:46 on 2026-09-10, Brent stands at $100.368/bbl (down 0.45% from $100.82 on Sep 9) and WTI at $95.461/bbl; the two-benchmark spread has widened to $4.907/bbl. The recovery in the spread raises delivered cost for Brent-priced grades such as ESPO, Dubai and Oman, forcing a re-pricing of discounts and hedging cadence across transshipment routes.
