How to read this dashboard
Change reflects the latest daily move reported in the price feed. Weekly and monthly ranges display the minimum and maximum prices for each period, while the gold dot marks where the current price sits within that corridor.
vs. Brent measures each blend's premium (+) or discount (–) relative to the Brent international benchmark, reflecting quality differentials (API gravity and sulfur) and freight logistics.
