Brent settles at $109.55 after $3 drop on possible Russian fuel

Brent crude settled 31 cents lower at $109.55 a barrel after dropping more than $3 intraday, Reuters reported on 19 October 2026. Reuters linked the slip to a Trump sanction waiver that may add Russian fuel supplies. For drivers, it is a reminder pump prices follow tanker and insurance risk, not just oil pumped.
