    Question

    Crude breaks above $100 as Brent hits $107.63 and WTI reaches $102.48

    Direct answer

    Brent crude surged 6.34% to $107.63 while WTI jumped 6.69% to $102.48, marking their highest levels since May. The simultaneous climb in energy and inflation indicators pushed US Treasury yields higher across the curve. The sharp commodity advance is reviving stagflation concerns across risk assets, pressuring high-multiple growth equities while supporting upstream energy producers and service providers.
