Brent crude tops $98/bbl, up 1.9% in 24 hours

Brent closing in on $100 is a psychological threshold as much as a technical one, and the proximity itself tends to draw attention from traders watching round numbers. The read-across matters most for tokenized commodity and energy-linked RWA products, where crude exposure is often pitched as a portfolio diversifier. Whether the benchmark actually tests $100, or stalls just short as it did on the approach, is the open question worth tracking.
