At 15:59 GMT on 5 October, Reuters quoted Brent at $101.15 a barrel and WTI at $90.22, both lower. Its report weighed recovering Middle Eastern exports and a G7 pledge to release 100 million barrels of crude and diesel against continuing disruption fears.
Reuters said the overlap with an earlier emergency-release agreement remained unclear. The pledge should therefore not be treated as wholly additional supply. For Iraq, this is a dated market benchmark: actual receipts depend on Iraqi sales volumes and applicable selling terms. Subsequent trading can change the price picture.
