Brent ends at $109.55 after $3 slide on Russian supply talk

Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, settled 31 cents lower at $109.55 a barrel after falling more than $3 during the day, Reuters reported 19 October 2026. Reuters tied the dip to a Trump sanction waiver that could add Russian fuel supply. For drivers, pump prices track shipping and insurance risk, not just output.
