Brent crude traded at $107.869 per barrel, marking another strong phase for oil prices this year.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"303\" data-end=\"599\">The commodity recorded a daily gain of 0.09%, while weekly growth reached 6.62%. On a monthly basis, Brent crude climbed 13.91%. The biggest highlight remains the year to date jump of 77.44%, showing the massive rally in global oil markets. Compared to last year, prices are now higher by 63.37%.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"nls68o\" data-start=\"601\" data-end=\"657\">Brent crude price crosses $107 as oil rally continues<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"659\" data-end=\"934\">Brent crude moving above the $107 level has kept investors and global markets on alert. Rising oil prices usually increase transportation and fuel costs across countries. Even a smaller daily rise of 0.09% becomes important when prices are already trading at elevated levels.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"936\" data-end=\"1158\">The 6.62% weekly increase reflects strong bullish momentum in the energy sector. Traders continue to monitor supply concerns, geopolitical tensions, and global demand recovery trends which are keeping oil prices supported.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1rhobc3\" data-start=\"1160\" data-end=\"1217\">Brent crude records 77.44% YTD growth in energy market<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1219\" data-end=\"1398\">The energy market has witnessed one of its strongest rallies in recent years. Brent crude gaining 77.44% since the beginning of the year highlights the scale of the ongoing surge.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1400\" data-end=\"1642\">The 13.91% monthly rise also suggests that buying pressure remains strong despite market volatility. Analysts believe higher oil prices could continue affecting inflation, shipping costs, airline expenses, and industrial production worldwide.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1644\" data-end=\"1820\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">With Brent crude now 63.37% higher compared to last year, investors are closely watching whether prices can continue holding above the $107 mark in the coming trading sessions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brent crude prices stayed elevated in the latest trading session as the global energy market continued its sharp upward trend\u2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":120176,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[36260,35422,12828,36112,36259,5218,34379,7948,33979],"class_list":["post-120175","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-us-markets","tag-barrel","tag-brent","tag-brent-crude","tag-brent-oil","tag-brent-price","tag-oil","tag-oil-price","tag-strait-of-hormuz","tag-top-stories"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120175","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=120175"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120175\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":120177,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/120175\/revisions\/120177"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/120176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=120175"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=120175"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=120175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
