Brent Crude Oil and the British Pound
Although Brent crude originates from the North Sea (between the UK and Norway), it is priced in US dollars on international markets. British energy companies, importers, and investors need to convert to GBP to understand the true cost in local currency terms.
The GBP-denominated Brent price is affected by two factors: the underlying crude oil price movement and the USD/GBP exchange rate. A weakening pound makes oil imports more expensive for the UK, even if the dollar price of oil stays flat. This is why UK fuel prices can rise even during periods of stable global oil prices.
