November Brent settled at $95.52/bbl on 3 September, down $0.11 (0.12%) from $95.63. WSJ market data and Reuters secondary reporting agree. This is a dated settlement, not a 4 September intraday or executable physical quote.

AFC COMMERCIAL READ-THROUGH

Refresh EN590 benchmark, differential, freight, war-risk cover and credit at the quotation window; confirm vessel acceptance and passage. Treat Ghana’s offshore MoU as a negotiation signal, not booked production. For gold, verify assay, lawful origin, custody and refinery acceptance. For copper, specify cash or three-month, quotation period, payable terms and title.

WATCH

Named-vessel acceptance · written war-risk cover · CPMZ commissioning · refresh prices before execution
