Brent Crude Falls 1.5% Intraday to $100.77 a Barrel

The headline number matters less than the round number it sits above: Brent holding $100 keeps the psychological floor intact even after a 1.5% intraday slide. For crypto and RWA desks, the read-through runs through the broader risk complex, where energy-led inflation pressure has been a live input into rate expectations. Whether crude consolidates above $100 or the intraday weakness extends is the open question, and it is the variable most likely to set the tone for risk assets into the next session.
