# Brent rose 3.3% and US crude stocks built 4.66 million barrels in the same week

> Brent January futures settled at $95.82, up 3.3%, and WTI December settled at $88.74, up 2.55%. Both benchmarks remain down about 3% on the week after attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and a stalled diplomatic channel with the US.

## Why it matters

Higher crude and energy costs raise diesel, freight and fertilizer expenses for feed producers, while Hormuz disruptions keep supply risk elevated. The rise is driven by geopolitical headlines rather than demand, so the move may reverse if shipping calms.
