Fact-check: “Brent crude prices are lower this morning”
Verdict: False (80% confidence)
Every documented morning price quote for Brent crude on September 22, 2026 shows prices rising, not falling, compared to the prior session close. The November Brent futures contract settled at $100.34 on September 21, then traded at $100.57 at 00:21 GMT, $101.63 at 07:58 GMT, and $101.99 at 09:46 Moscow time — all higher than the prior close. Prices did fall sharply later in the day (to ~$97.98 by 1:00 p.m. Moscow time), but that was well past the morning session.
