Brent Climbs Back Above $111 on Thursday; Sahmino's 16:00 Record Shows $111.91

Brent crude rose $2.41 from its reference price to $111.23 a barrel in early trading on Thursday, October 22, 2026 (30 Mehr 1405), according to Mehr. On Sahmino's record at 16:00 the same day, Brent stood at $111.912, up $2.296 (2.09 percent) on the previous day's reference price; this is an intraday reading, not the session's settlement.

Al Jazeera also wrote that Brent climbed above $110 on Thursday, as recent attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and fighting between Yemen's Houthis and the Yemeni government, which has spilled into attacks on Saudi Arabia, renewed fears of fresh disruption to regional energy supplies. For Iran, a higher oil price raises the value of each exported barrel, but the same driver signals greater risk along the region's energy transit routes. Sahmino's record on Tuesday, October 20 had Brent near $110.75.
