    Question

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

    Direct answer

    Crude oil prices advanced sharply, with Brent gaining 6.34% to $107.63 and WTI climbing 6.69% to $102.48. This marks the first time since May that both contracts traded above $100 per barrel.
