Brent Crude Slides 5.2% to $110.64 a Barrel in Latest Quote

Brent crude fell 5.2% to $110.64 a barrel Monday morning, a sharp energy-market move that puts oil in view for crypto traders tracking inflation and interest-rate expectations.

The quote was recorded at 8:38 a.m. ET (13:38 UTC) Monday. Brent had earlier fallen to $112 a barrel before the latest reading of $110.64. The 5.2% decline was measured against the previous trading session’s close, giving the comparison a session-to-session reference point.

For crypto traders, the potential relevance runs through the macroeconomic outlook. Energy prices can influence inflation pressures, while inflation expectations can shape views on interest rates. Changes in those expectations can affect the broader market backdrop for digital assets, which is why a sharp move in crude can matter beyond energy markets.

The figures show Brent moving below the earlier $112 level by the time of the latest quote. The reported percentage refers to the previous close, not to the $112 marker.
