|---|---|---|---|

| BRENT CRUDE | the local market move was explicitly tied to a firmer oil benchmark | Upintraday | Reuters reported Brent trading higher on supply-disruption concerns |
| QAR/USD | the news is supportive for hydrocarbon revenues but not enough to establish a spot FX move from the report alone | Watch1-5d | the Reuters report covered equities and crude rather than the currency market |
