Line chart of the daily dollar gap between Brent and WTI closes from September 7 to October 5, 2026.

The gap between the two oil benchmarks has widened to roughly double its September average and is the widest of the 20 sessions in the series. The shaded period begins with a September 22 remark about United States diesel exports. A G7 reserve release trimmed both benchmarks early on October 6 and left the gap slightly narrower.
