BRENT.MI is trading at β¬28.58 with a +3.23% change, as stalled U.S.-Iran talks limited hopes for additional Iranian supply. - Falling U.S. gasoline and distillate inventories pointed to tight fuel markets; Chinaβs suspension of fuel exports added pressure to refined-product supply. - Oilβs geopolitical risk premium remained supported, though benchmark Brent prices were mixed during October 1 trading. - Broader equities were weaker, suggesting the gain was more closely tied to oil-market factors than general market strength.
