Your Farm Fuel Q&A: 25th February 2026
This update provides a snapshot of the major market shifts occurring this week.
Where is Brent crude trading this week?
A: Brent crude futures are trading above $70 per barrel, near six- to seven-month highs as of today. Multiple data sources show Brent around $71–72 / bbl, with some volatility session-to-session.
Bottom line for pricing: that’s a material step up from the low-$60s earlier in January and into early February.
Q: What’s driving current oil market strength?
A:
Geopolitical risk premium in oil markets — traders are pricing heightened potential supply disruptions related to Middle East tensions.
Some analysts highlight volatility rising as markets factor risk around Iran/US relations.
Goldman Sachs has lifted parts of its medium-term outlook on crude due to persistent geopolitical concerns.
These are real pricing inputs, not abstract predictions.
Q: Is this Brent movement reflected in UK diesel/red diesel pricing?
A: Yes — but not one-for-one. Latest UK fuel trackers show monthly crude price increases feeding through into wholesale red diesel values, while retail diesel/petrol headline prices remain broadly below the peaks seen in late 2025.
What this means for farmers:
Delivered fuel prices often lag Brent by ~1–2 weeks.
Sustained Brent above $70 usually puts upward pressure on supplier quotes.
