What does Brent crude mean?

Brent Crude may refer to any or all of the components of the Brent Complex, a physically and financially traded oil market based around the North Sea of Northwest Europe; colloquially, Brent Crude usually refers to the price of the ICE (Intercontinental Exchange) Brent Crude Oil futures contract or the contract itself.

Is Brent crude a sweet crude?

The Brent oil platform is in the North Sea. We extract oil from the region to produce petroleum and middle distillates. Brent Crude contains around 0.37% of sulfur (British English: sulphur). It is, therefore, a ‘sweet crude.’ However, it is not as sweet as WTI (West Texas Intermediate).

Why is Brent crude considered a benchmark for premium oil?

So, crude oil that is both light and sweet is easier to refine. And these two qualities make up the benchmark for premium oils. Brent Crude is often considered the global benchmark for oil because roughly two-thirds of the world's oil is priced off Brent Crude futures.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
