About Brent Oil

Brent Oil is also known as London Brent or North Sea Oil. It originates from the fields which were named by Shell and ExxonMobil after the Brent Goose (All their exploration fields were named after birds). It is a light crude oil but slightly heavier than WTI. It is traded electronically via the ICE futures exchange although many in Europe now opt to spread betting or CFDs for trading the front month contracts.
